Marto Red Picotee Saxifrage
Saxifraga × arendsii ‘Marto Red Picotee’
 
Delicate yet hardy, Marto Red Picotee Saxifrage is a charming ground-hugging perennial that adds a splash of colour to cool, shaded spaces. This delightful variety features small, star-shaped blooms in vibrant red with soft white edges, creating a lovely picotee effect that stands out in rock gardens, borders, and containers.
 
Blooming in early to mid-spring, its cheerful flowers rise on slender stems above a compact mat of dense, mossy green foliage, which stays attractive even after flowering. Growing just 4–6 inches tall and 8–12 inches wide, it’s ideal for edging, alpine gardens, and any location that needs a touch of spring brightness.
 
Exceptionally well-suited for Canadian climates, Marto Red Picotee thrives in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It’s cold-hardy, deer-resistant, and an excellent choice for cool, shaded areas where other perennials may struggle.
 
Bring early-season colour and delicate beauty to your garden with Marto Red Picotee Saxifrage—a cool-weather favourite that’s perfect for Canada’s diverse growing conditions.
