Alpine Plants

Alpine plants are species that thrive in high-altitude, rocky environments, often characterized by cool temperatures, strong winds, and well-drained soils. Examples include saxifrage, edelweiss, and alpine asters. These plants are well-suited for rock gardens, trough gardens, and other settings that mimic their natural habitats. Alpine plants are typically low-growing, hardy, and drought-tolerant, making them ideal for challenging garden conditions where other plants may struggle. They often feature unique foliage and small, delicate flowers that add interest and texture to the landscape. When designing with alpine plants, it's important to provide well-drained soil and, in some cases, protection from excessive moisture, especially in warmer climates. Alpine plants require minimal maintenance and are an excellent choice for creating naturalistic, low-maintenance gardens.
