That was kindle doing the wording for me…I meant do I need to pot up a size.  Probably since the others have such great root systems but not while it is blooming.

Hi Nancy, sorry I cant answer your first question. I just learn somethings watching 'Tomorrows World'  with Monty Don presenter of gardening. 

Here is a link to the Alpine plant society encycloperdia.

I have two ferns, trying to find out why the crowns narrow?

So I need to provide up a size?  I put where it gets morning Sun  and is  putting up bloom stalks.  The pots were all full of good roots.  The ferns are beautiful.  Had to put in own pot since so many roots would not go in hypertufa pot.  Nancy

Nancy, all alpines like your Saxifraga need moist but not wet. They also need small stones/gravel around them.

 

The plants require moist soil, especially in spring when they are growing the most. You can plant this Saxifraga from seed but for faster plants, divide a mature clump. Seeds require cold stratification for germination and can take two to three years to bloom.
