Saxifraga fortunei 'Black Ruby'

Gorgeous colours :) Is it flowering at the moment, Spritz....?

Yes, sure is, Di! Isn't it a little beauty!

It is gorgeous , I love the dark leaves against the pink ... Barbara , I'm going to start following you round to see where you find all these treasures ..... LOL...

Wow...it's lovely! What soil does it like? Bet it's not too keen on heavy clay....:((

Oh bother - another one for the wants list - please stop, Spritz!

These Saxifrage like moist soil, in shade or semi-shade. I don't think they're too fussy about soils.

Oh dear, Wagger. I found some gems yesterday! ;-)

thats beautiful

WOW :o)

these have to be my all time favourite plants at this time of year, flowering their heads off when everything around them is finishing :)))))

Lovely colour combination and i agree with you Grindle, they're invaluable :-)

Now that is very nice. Where did you find it?

take a look here, they've got a good selection :)

HA! Grindle - Long Acre! Ask Louise about her experience with them - she's not too impressed! I was thinking about a trip there at some point....but certainly not THIS week!

was it a bad experience then? I've not ordered from them, but was thinking about it, maybe I'll wait until Barracott reopens in the spring then, and I can actually see what I'm buying :)

Might be wiser, really. It could have been a 'one-off', though - they have a good reputation, don't they!

I always thought they had :)

Lovely colour combination. NOt much colour in the garden now, although the grass seems to keep growing.

Well - I don't want to seem boastful, but I do still have some colour here! It may well be the milder area, I suspect, for most of it.

Let us know whether it gets through the winter, Spritz - this one has a reputation for not making it through - hopefully, where you live, it will.

Ooohh! I do hope it does, Bamboo! Yes, I'll keep a beady eye on it.

I found some today at less than half price so I bought 4. hopefully they will survive the winter up here.

Good bargain, Sbg! Let us know how they get on, won't you!
