Key Features:

1. Compact Growth Habit:

   • Saxifraga 'Peter Pan' forms a dense mound of evergreen foliage, typically reaching a height of 4 to 6 inches and spreading 6 to 12 inches wide. Its compact size makes it an ideal choice for small garden spaces, rock gardens, and container plantings.

2. White Star-Shaped Flowers:

   • One of the most distinctive features of Saxifraga 'Peter Pan' is its delicate white flowers that bloom profusely in spring. The star-shaped blooms add a whimsical touch to the garden and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

3. Evergreen Foliage:

4. Versatile Use:

5. Low Maintenance:

   • Saxifraga 'Peter Pan' is relatively low maintenance and requires minimal care to thrive. Once established, it is drought tolerant and resistant to pests and diseases. Regular deadheading of spent flowers can encourage repeat blooming and prolong the flowering period.

Maintenance Tips:

Here are some maintenance tips to ensure the health and vitality of your Saxifraga 'Peter Pan':

1. Watering:

   • Water newly planted 'Peter Pan' regularly to help establish a strong root system. Once established, water during dry spells to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

2. Fertilization:

   • Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients can lead to leggy growth and reduced flowering.

3. Mulching:

   • Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plants to help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Avoid mulching too close to the crown of the plant to prevent rotting.

4. Pruning:

   • Trim back any dead or damaged foliage and spent flower stems to maintain a neat appearance. Avoid cutting into the woody stems at the base of the plant, as this can inhibit new growth.

5. Winter Protection:

   • Provide winter protection in colder climates by covering the plants with a layer of mulch or frost cloth to insulate them from freezing temperatures and frost damage.

Conclusion:

Saxifraga 'Peter Pan' is a charming perennial plant that adds beauty and whimsy to any garden setting. With its compact growth habit, delicate white flowers, and evergreen foliage, it is a versatile option for enhancing small spaces and container gardens. Incorporate 'Peter Pan' into your garden design and enjoy its timeless appeal year-round
