saxafraga

What a shame is lovely as well at least if you split you will have some to fall back on if one does nt survive in future winters and it will double quicker too.

that's true, it only started as a small little piece so i was quite sad when i saw it like this.

I've found that this type of saxifrage is quite prone to looking dry and dead in the centre... Splitting and replanting works well..

There you are Surreylad bet your pleased to hear Terratoonies advice. I think I had this some years ago at another house and it done the same to me thinking of it.

Hi 6d ... Sometimes you can solve the problem by adding more soil over the "dead" looking area in the centre ...

... but probably better to split it into several little plants ...

Good morning and thank you for that Terratoonie :o))

thanks terra,your right sixpence i've not heard of that idea before, i used to have one called 'cloth of gold' that suffered with that terra, even splitting it didn't work, and it eventually died not sure why..

I have this one and always put more earth over the centre when it drys out, it soon grows through and I get a lovely green mound back again.....

thanks, i'll give that a try before splitting it up. fingers crossed,
