    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.

    This is our favourite selection, full list can be found using the plant finder filters at the top of this page.
