Alpines

Alpine plants are a unique group of plants that thrive in high-altitude mountainous environments, where conditions can be harsh, with cold temperatures, strong winds, and rocky, nutrient-poor soils. These plants are often found in mountain ranges like the Alps, Himalayas, Rockies, and Andes. Their ability to survive and even flourish in these extreme environments makes them fascinating subjects for study and cultivation in rock gardens or alpine gardens.

Alpine plants are often used in rock gardens or specially designed alpine gardens because of their unique appearance and ability to grow in rocky, well-drained environments. When cultivating alpine plants, the key is to mimic their natural habitat, providing excellent drainage, lots of sunlight, and protection from excessive moisture during the winter months.
