Product description
Alpines are a collection of plants that originated from rocky and mountainous regions. They have a compact and hardy habit, making them excellent for ground cover, and are ideal to be planted in borders, rockeries, raised beds and patio containers. The superb mix will include hardy varieties which love free draining soil that mimics the conditions of their origin and will produce abundant flowers during late Spring and Summer. Each plant will be supplied early-developed and in a 9cm pot.

How to Water
Water moderately until established then during dry spells through the growing season and more sparingly in autumn and winter.
