Alpine Plants
If you are looking to add a splash of colour to your garden just after the snows melt away and spring is in the air, what you need is an assortment of splendidly coloured Alpine plants. As the name would imply, the technical reason for the name is because they do well in extremely cold regions ‘above the treelines.’ However, according to the Alpine Garden Society of Great Britain, Alpine plants are loosely considered those that weather the winter well and are ideal for rock gardens.
