~ ALPINES ~ PRICES (unless noted individually otherwise) Most perennials are $7.00 as a well established plant in a 5 or 6 inch pot. Variegates are generally $8.00 a pot. Shrubs and large growing perennials needing to be in gallon pots, are $10.00
Alchemilla alpina This Alpine Lady's Mantle is more diminutive, and has more defined, sharply cut leaves than the more common A. mollis. It also has a sharply contrasting, thin white edge that really makes it stand out as a foliage plant. Same light, airy yellow bloom, but a much more refined Alchemilla.
Antennaria neglecta Commonly known as "Pussy Toes" This Native groundcover is such a valuable, useful plant in those impossible to grow ANYTHING type of situations. Got sunny, crappy, rocky, sandy nutrient deficient soil where nuthin will grow? This silvery, fuzzy, soft matt will quickly cover and thrive.
Armeria maritime A wonderful brilliant pink bloomer for the rock garden. This Thrift is fast to form large clumps of grassy tufts that shoot up many stalks of large, double blooms in the most stunning shade of pink. Best divined every 2 years to keep moisture from being trapped in the crowding plants, causing die-out in the center. Must have a well draining soil and good air circulation. Full sun is best. A treasure amongst all the "blues" one usually ends up with in an alpine bed!
Cerastium Tomentosum Beautiful soft fuzzy, narrow silver leaves, getting covered with large pristine, white blooms. Eventually forming a mat of silver luminance.
Eryngium yuccafolia Besides the interesting and very long lasting bristley bloom, This Sea-Holly has thick, strap-like leaves, that remind me more of an Agave than a Yucca. You garden visitors will never believe you when you tell them it's a hardy perenial!(Looks much more like a desert succulent.)
Gentiana gracilipes This Gentian has the typically intense blue bloom, and large prolific clusters of them! Absolutely must have a well draining site, and partial sun is best. Very easy Gentian to grow.
Gentiana cruciata This is a hybrid originating in Europe. Same gorgeous shade of blue, but with larger blossoms. A very long bloomer and super easy to grow, (With excellent drainage).
Hanabusaya asiatica (SOLD OUT) A very precious endangered herb originating from the mountains of Korea. Very large blue-ish purple, pendulous bells appear in late Summer, dangling above elongated heart shaped leaves. Very showy! Requires a sharply draining site, and partial shade is best. Rare and choice!
Leibnitzia anandria This little gem only reaches a few inches in height, But such lovely light yellow daisies atop whorls of ground hugging foliage must be admired for it's subtle beauty. Great foreground for the rock garden or Alpine bed!
Penstemon smallii This one is more like a shrub, than most Penstemons in growth habit. Gets quite filled out and reaches about 3' in height for me. Fantastic bloomer! Gets loaded with dark pinkish purple, tubular flowers with white throats, and the bees and hummers just love 'em! Rare and choice for the sunny border.
Penstemon tenuis A native of the US, this Penstemon is a strong grower, able to survive my NY winters with ease. A mature plant almost resembles a shrub more than herbaceous perennial, as it gets quite large and symmetrical. Can be cut back after blooming for a second flush of blossoms!
Saxifraga cuscutiformis This rare little gem has succulent-like foliage, thick & fleshy, in large rounded, serrated leaves. Stoloniferous, it spreads similar to the "Strawberry Begonia", forming new little plantlets at the ends of the thin thread-like stolons. Tall airy clusters of delicate white blooms arise in late spring.Foliage looks fabulous all season long. MUST have sharp drainage, and likes a little bit of sun.
Teucrium chamaedrys A European Native Germander, quite often found creeping about old stone walls, and steps. The foliage is fuzzy and so neatly scalloped around the edges, forms a very neat mat, that only gets more lovely when the short spikes of pink flowers top it off in late Spring. Sun and a very sharply draining site.
