Rockeries - Alpine Plants/Rock Plants

Rockeries - Alpine Plants/Rock Plants
Plants here include both alpine and rock plants.

Alpine plants are all dwarf growing and share a number of other similar characteristics.

All alpine plants need to be grown in well drained soil and preferably upraised beds.

Alpines prefer acidic or peaty soil and dislike fertiliser.
