Alpines
Alpines are some of the most charming plants you can grow. Many alpines are hardy so can cope with cold winters. However alpines do not like standing in cold, wet soil, so the main thing to consider when growing them is drainage. They can cope with some rain, and do need some watering, but they must be planted in well drained soil or compost. If you are growing them in a container make sure it has adequate holes for drainage. Most alpines like a neutral or slightly alkaline soil.
