Saxes looking good, Oleg - we have found quite a few have suffered over the winter here - just too wet , I think.

Yes, Maggi, wetness must be a problem. So far I have scored a success with them only in troughs, frozen in winter and not exposed to the scorching summer sun. It is a shame your saxes were damaged in the wet winter. But being such skillful gardeners you are sure to "force"them to survive and thrive

Losses are inevitable, Maggi. I'm still counting winter losses although it feels summer here. One more thing that has survived is Saxifraga x elizabethae, not rare but nice and relyable

I've grown them for some years in troughs but most over the last year or so seem to have rooted at the root - I'd suspect vine weevil but I've never found any larvae. I found that most can then be rooted as cuttings and so I now have a number of pots that I'm not sure what to do with. I might try them in a frame.
