Strictly speaking, alpine plants are those that originate at high altitudes above the tree line, although the term is also often used to include low-growing rock garden plants that may be grown successfully at relatively low altitudes. Both types of plants display an abundance of attractive, brightly coloured flowers, and their diminutive form and compact habit make them particularly suitable for growing in a relatively small space.
This section will guide you through the process of how to choose and buy alpines and other rock garden plants, as well as providing detailed advice on planting and maintenance. If you're planning on creating a rock garden from scratch, take a look at our building guide, which will help you through every step of the way.
