Alpine trough in the shade.
Just a report for anyone considering an alpine trough. Our is by a north
facing house wall so gets practically no sun at all but no overhead shade. SW London. Successes : Gentiana sino ornata - Flowered well in 2 successive years and is growing strongly. (always dies when attempted in rock garden) Saxifraga Kabschia types.- grow and flower well Erinus Alpinus - a bit leggy but OK campanula cochlearifolia grows and flower well Failures Dianthus alpinus - lanky foliage , no flowers - only tried because I had spare plants. |
