Meet the Saxifraga ‘Tricolor’—the painted trailing queen. With her small, rounded leaves bordered in a breathtaking blend of cream, pastel pink, and mint green, she looks like a hand-painted heirloom. Whimsical, highly variegated, and undeniably sweet, she’s here to turn your high shelves into a cascading waterfall of pastel lace.

  • The Formal Name: Saxifraga stolonifera 'Tricolor'
  • The Nickname: Tricolor Strawberry Begonia
  • Roots: A spectacular highly-colored cultivar derived from species native to the rocky woodlands of China and Japan.
  • Natural Vibe: Creeping along damp, shaded stones and forest floors where she spreads out via long runners.

Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She loves bright, indirect light. Good filtered illumination keeps those pink and cream borders crisp. Avoid any direct sun rays!
  • Best Room: A bright kitchen window or trailing beautifully down from a shaded west-facing window shelf.
  • Snacks: A weak liquid fertiliser at half-strength once a month during spring and summer only.
  • Tropical Feels: Appreciates moderate humidity (50%+). She’ll pout with crispy edges if your indoor winter air gets too dry.
  • Cosy Factor: Uniquely prefers cooler temperatures (12–22°C). Keep her well away from direct radiator heating vents.
  • Thirst: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. She likes to stay evenly damp but holds zero tolerance for soggy roots.
  • Safety First: Pet-Friendly! Completely non-toxic and perfectly safe for cats, dogs, and curious pets.
  • The Bedding: A lightweight, loose, and well-draining potting matrix—standard soil mixed with a generous handful of perlite.
  • Family Tree: Incredibly easy to propagate—just snip the tiny "baby" rosettes that dangle on her long red runners and press them into damp soil.
  • Space Needs: A low-growing mound that stands about 10–15 cm tall, throwing out trailing runners that can reach 50 cm long.
  • Speed: A moderate-to-fast grower during summer, quickly producing miniature clone families.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch closely for spider mites if the indoor air becomes exceptionally dry.
  • Moving Day: Repot every year in spring to refresh her soil and accommodate her multiplying root network.
  • Haircut: Minimal needed; just clear away any yellowing bottom leaves at the base to keep the crown fresh.
  • Fresh Air: A dainty oxygen booster that brings a soft, organic textile feel to your interior decor.
  • Plant Lore: Despite being called a Strawberry Begonia or Geranium, she belongs to neither family—she is a true Rockfoil.
