Not all alpine plants need a rock garden to flourish and in this new book Jack Elliott suggests ways in which they can be used to enhance every garden. He selects low growing hardy perennials which bring extra colour and prolonged season to the foreground of borders and between larger plants, as well as in beds especially devoted to them. Soil preparation, growing alpines in containers, propagation and pest control are all covered. This is a book for established alpine enthusiasts as well as those eager to discover more about their cultivation.
