Hello everyone,
my aunt have bought Aceriphyllum rossii and we cannot find information how to grow this plant. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi, Krzysztof,
This plant is in the family Saxifragaceae,and usedto be called Mukdenia, I think.
I do not grow this plant but if I were to buy it I would plant it in a place with moist , rich soil ( with quite a good amount of nutrition in it) and, here in Aberdeen and I think for you in Poland, I believe it would quite like a spot that was sunny for a few hours a day. I think in warmer, sunnier countries it would like shade for longer each day! Certainly this type of saxigragaceae plant likes a warmer position in Aberdeen, but with a moist soil .

Hi Krzysztof, I grow this plant as a group in a half shady place, where sun is shining in the morning till eleven.
It flowers very early (March) and sometimes the flowers become brown, due to late strong frosts.
In a place with little wind the leaves get a beautiful autumn colour.
If you have a good place you have a beautiful gardenplant, not often seen everywhere.
