Spring flowering alpines dazzle with their beauty. Not only do their jewel-like flowers shine out against rugged stone when little else in the garden is blooming, but their small stature and intricate detail are deeply enthralling.
A stroll through the rock garden at The New York Botanical Garden early in the year shows the instant appeal of these delicate yet hardy blooms. Too good to miss out on, why not introduce these exquisite plants at home, either as part crevice garden or potted alpine display.
