OK. looks like my newest interest is Alpines (rock garden) alongside hardy succulents (Sempervivums and the like).
I have never really tackled this section of fauna.
So I may have a few questions.
Is it OK to wintersow all alpine seeds?
On some sites it says "20 C which is probably 70 F" which to me is kinda warm.
Then... I would like to try some really cool alpines such as Saxifraga longifolia (just an example that came to my mind).
In lots of pictures I see this beautiful plant in full bloom but perched on top of a rock with just a shallow hole for dirt/roots, if at all!
Do such plants love it the hard way? If nicely planted in the landscape, or in a pot, with adequate kind of dirt - would they be doomed?
I'm thinking first growing plants and then arrange them nicely on rocks. OR they need to be small seedlings when placed in their final spot???
Just some questions... but I am sure more will follow in time
