Alpinarium

Now almost every owner of a garden can boast of "alpine slide" (if this is an appropriate name for that). But very often this phrase referred only to the stones with the strange plants beside. In fact, the alpinarium - it is an imitation of the beautiful alpine landscape with mountain plants and carefully selected stones.

It is a lot of the decorating of the alpine slides possibilities, but the most important condition is the presence of alpine and subalpine plants. As for the stones - limestone, sandstone or granite (rarely used) suits the best.

In the beginning, choose a place for alpinarium. The best chance to create an alpinarium is a small slope with a stone scree. It is possible to lay the rock garden out along the garden border or natural eminence.

Plants that will be planted on the alpinarium, are natively from the high mountains and rocky valleys. Plants are forced to hug to the ground in such conditions, so they remain stunted looking harmoniously in combination with stone slabs, imitating the alpine landscape.

When you will select plants for alpinarium please note that all of them are divided into several types:

• shade-loving (periwinkle, cyclamen, etc.)
• light-loving (atsena, lavender, thyme, etc.)
• universal (scyllas, crocuses, decorative grasses, etc.)

Selection of plants also depends on the color of stones: alpine plants with bright foliage looks good on a dark background, and vice versa.

Tasteful alpinarium will decorate your garden and add a unique alpine charm to it!
