Ditto for many pulsatilla species - but most are turning out to be too big for my containers. On the other hand, more classic \'alpines\' aren\'t thriving so well. I planted several edraianthus species, only E montenegrinus is hanging on (barely). Androsace species are about 50/50, but the survivors look awfully sad, so not sure if they\'ll perk up with maturity or give up the fight. A couple are two years old and despite ragged foliage they bloomed beautifully last summer. So time will tell. Arabis androsacea and A bryoides are alive, but I sure hope spring perks them up. Erodium chrysanthum is thriving, but again turns out to be too big for my planters. I took these pictures just now - unfortunately dusk lighting so focus is poor. First for the thriving: #1 Dianthus La Bourboule #2 Pulsatilla grandis #3 Erodium chrysanthum. Last 2 are examples of the struggling: #4 Arabis androsacea #5 Androsace studiosorum |
