A colourful addition to the alpine bed or rockery, ‘Highlander Red’ is an evergreen perennial which forms a low cushion or mound of grey-green leaves. Short stems of upward-facing, cup-shaped red flowers are borne on this bonny saxifraga in spring.
Trim back after flowering, avoiding autumn and spring. Water moderately when actively growing and avoid winter wet. A light top-dressing of sharp sand after flowering will promote tight clumps, and help with surface drainage in order to prevent root rot.
