Add Instant Colour with Hardy Alpine & Rockery Plants

Looking to transform your garden with lasting colour and texture? This Mystery Seasonal Alpine & Rockery Plant Mix delivers a hand-picked selection of hardy perennials chosen for their outstanding garden performance.

• Botanical Interest: Alpines are renowned for their compact habit and ability to thrive in tough conditions. These perennials originate from mountainous regions and bring unique foliage and vibrant blooms to any outdoor space.
• Flowering & Foliage: Expect a stunning display of bright flowers from late spring right through to late summer. Each mix is selected at its seasonal best, so you always receive top-quality plants.
• Growth Habit: These plants remain compact, making them ideal for containers, beds, troughs, rockeries, or even nestled into wall crevices and paving gaps.

Growing Guide & Care Tips

• Planting Location: Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained soil—perfect for traditional rock gardens or modern containers.
• Soil Preference: Alpines thrive in gritty, free-draining soil. Amend heavy soils with sand or fine gravel to improve drainage.
• Watering: Water regularly after planting until established. Once settled, alpines are drought-tolerant and require minimal watering.
• Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Minimal pruning is needed—simply tidy up dead foliage in autumn or early spring.
• Hardiness: Most alpine species are fully hardy in the UK (USDA zones 4–8), reliably returning each year even through cold winters.

Design Ideas & Companion Plants

• Create striking displays by pairing alpines with low-growing sedums, saxifrages, or thyme.
• Makes an excellent feature in gravel gardens, raised beds, or as edging along paths.
• The compact size suits small urban gardens as well as larger landscapes.
