Alpines are plants that grow best in alpine conditions. These are things such as lots of drainages and poor soil conditions. Alpines can grow in sun to shady positions and can add bursts of colour to your garden. They can be planted in rockeries, as the conditions are well suited to these plants. They can also be planted in containers and pots, making sure there is holes and gravel for appropriate drainage.
