Saxifraga Plant 'Arendsii Marto Rose'
- Light and dark pink flowers
- Pretty star-shaped petals
- Compact and easy growing
Saxifraga arendsii Marto Rose, or just Marto Rose to use the more common name, is a fine flowering plant with powerful shades of light and dark rose pink. Each 9cm plant delivered to you will mature into a much-valued part of your garden and provide warm colours from spring to summer.
Marto Rose’s habit is best described as compact, neat and mound forming. The structure is lance shaped or lobed and it will reach a height of approximately 10inches (25cm) when fully grown after 2 to 5 years. This evergreen perennial can spread to a width of around 12inches (30cm) at full maturity.
Marto Rose enjoys bright green leaves and stems that are upright but slender, with star-like flowers at the top. The flowers range from subtle pinks to deeper hues, in a lovely contrast to the green foliage below. The plant is very easy to grow and care for and is weather resistant and hardy. Growers enjoy the colour of the flowers when they first appear in late March, at the early signs of spring, right through to the hot sunshine in June.
When to plant and what to expect at different times of the year
You can plant hardy shrubs, trees and perennials at any time of the year avoiding the two extremes of heat and cold. During the summer months when it is hot and dry the need for watering becomes crucial to aid successful establishment and in the winter when the soil is frozen the plants will not be in active growth either above or below ground and risk getting cold damage. The same is true on the stage or growth you can expect your plants to be delivered in and this will be directly related to the time of year and the season.
When ordering through the year, here’s a summary of what to expect when receiving your plants:
Spring Months: Plants supplied in spring will be starting to show signs of active growth above and below ground.
Summer Months: Plants supplied in the late summer will be more advanced in size and flower stage
Autumn Months: In the autumn plants will be changing colour, showing signs of leaf colour breakdown and be preparing to shut down for winter.
Winter Months: Plants ordered and supplied during the winter months will be dormant and therefore may not be showing growth above the soil level or consist of bare branches with no leaves or bare roots with no soil.
These are all perfectly normal and natural for these types of plants growing in the northern hemisphere. All will still have a very healthy root system that can be planted when the weather is favourable by keeping the new soil level equal to the pot level and therefore not covering the crown of the plant at all. Planting during the autumn and winter months will allow for early establishment in the season and a bigger and better display throughout the main growing season.
