| I've been interested in alpines for years but alas my climate is anything but alpine (St Louis). I could find virtually no information on what plants might tolerate my climate, so it's been totally trial and error. Sadly, more error I'm afraid. But I thought I'd post my successes if any others with humid hot summers wanted to give them a try. #1 is Houstonia caerulea #2 is Aquilegia flabellata Nana #3 is Pulsatilla campanella #4 is Daphne cneorum Pygmaea #5 is Degenia velebetica These have all survived several seasons and look happy. Jury is still out on a lot others - surviving, not thriving. And of course a bunch just went immediately belly up. If anyone has any suggestions for humidity & heat tolerating rock garden plants, I'd be interested in recommendations.      |

| @SloMo Hi Scott. Some of the better behaved alliums are nice. Armeria https://garden.org/lists/view/... Delosperma https://garden.org/lists/view/... Dianthus https://garden.org/lists/view/... I have found all of these to be tough plants. |
