Saxifraga General Care
« on: May 05, 2019, 02:21:28 PM »
Please excuse the most basic of questions. I have a large number of Peter Pan and Winston Churchill plants where the flowers have now started to go over. Do I simply leave the flowers and stems in place are is it best to remove them?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I missed this one. I'd be inclined to snip them off if you haven't already done so.

One of mine that is easy to grow, Saxifraga x burnatii a cross between cochlearis and paniculata.

And  better to snip off the  old flowering stems rather than pull them off or try to snap them with  your  fingers.
