    Planting & Care Tips

    How to care for your Saxifraga Starblush:Water regularly during establishment.

    Maintain consistent moisture during active growth and flowering.

    Allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings but avoid prolonged dry conditions.

    For healthy growth and flowering:

    Apply compost or organic matter in spring.
    Use a light application of balanced fertiliser if required.
    Avoid excessive feeding, which can encourage soft growth.

    Removing spent flowers helps:

    Keep plants tidy
    Encourage fresh growth
    Improve overall appearance

    Simply trim flower stems back once flowering has finished.

    Very little pruning is required.

    Remove old flower stems after flowering.
    Trim away damaged or untidy foliage as required.
    Refresh older clumps by lightly tidying growth in late summer.

    Mature plants can be divided every few years to:

    Rejuvenate growth
    Increase plant numbers
    Maintain vigour

    Division is best carried out in spring or autumn.

    Saxifraga Starblush is highly frost hardy and performs well throughout New Zealand.

    For best winter performance:

    Ensure good drainage.
    Avoid excessive winter wet around the crown.
    Remove any damaged foliage in spring.
