These nurseries are excellent as they have some wonderful plants for sale but they also have display beds and sinks so you can see what the plants will look like. Hope you enjoy these. First is a sink display
Display plants at Edrom and Lamberton
A circular trough
More troughs
This is what I call alpine beds!
Sebaea - they didn't have this for sale but I'd love one
A beautiful pulsatilla vulgaris
Salix reticulata
Polygala - new to me but again one I would like
Bolax - perfect form!
Aubretia glabrescens
Wow! Wonderful place. I don't know of anything like that
near here. Did you buy anything?
How nice to have alpine nurseries near enough to visit! It's definitely in their best interests to put on a good demonstration of how people might use their plants.... display gardens sell a lot of plants (especially whatever is in bloom!)
That Sebaea is stunning!
I agree - it is so worthwhile seeing what a plant looks like in a garden setting rather than the tiny specimen you buy in a pot. I bought several alpines to fill my stone sink and some species lilies - all planted now after this weekend.
