Why Choose Alpine Plants?

• Hardy & Reliable: Alpines are renowned for their ability to withstand tough conditions, returning reliably each year with minimal fuss.
• Extended Bloom: Enjoy a succession of bright flowers and attractive foliage from late spring through to late summer.
• Compact Habit: Their low, spreading growth makes them ideal for rockeries, crevices, pots, troughs, and even wall planting.
• Low Maintenance: Once established, alpines require little watering and thrive in well-drained, gritty soils.

Growing Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted in spring or early autumn for strong root development.
• Soil: Prefers free-draining, gritty or sandy soil. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged sites.
• Sun/Shade: Most alpines flourish in full sun but will tolerate partial shade.
• Watering: Water well after planting, then only during prolonged dry spells.
• Fertilising: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring for best results.
