OTHER PERENNIALS FOR ROCK GARDENS AND SCREES
CRANESBILL
A neat little perennial, producing a loose hummock of small, grey-green leaves, and purplish red flowers with dark veins and eyes over a long period in summer.
ALPINE OXALIS
The tuft of deeply divided, greyish green leaves is accompanied during spring by funnel-shaped, purplish pink flowers with pale centers and dark throats.
ROSCOEA
Appearing in late spring, this gorgeous perennial produces a small clump of erect, leafy stems, which bear loose spikes of large, pale yellow, orchid-like flowers.
AUTUMN GENTIAN
One of the most famous and spectacular autumn-flowering gentians, with an over- wintering mat of trailing, leafy stems and upturned, deep blue trumpet flowers.
ALPINE GYPSOPHILA
Also known as 'Pink Beauty', as the semi- evergreen mat of slender, bluish green stems and leaves is smothered for many weeks in summer by tiny pink flowers.
