Alpine Plant Varieties - Seed kit gift box

constantly exposed to the harsh climatic conditions common in alpine environments.
We only sub-divide alpine plant varieties into two groups: plants, which have adapted well to calcareous environments and the alpines, which do not grow well in calcareous conditions. It is particularly the chalk loving alpine plants, which do well in our home rockeries.
This seed set contains 4 mountain plants for the rock garden:

• Aconite/ wolfsbane/ monk's-hood (Aconitum napellus)
  Aconite is a beautiful traditional, medicinal plant, with lovely blue to purple flowers. However all its parts are also highly toxic and care and consideration needs to be taken when choosing a position in your garden.
• Tibetan gentian (Gentiana tibetica)
  Tibetan gentian is a small, resilient gentian plant variety, with white flowers, originating from the Himalayas and it is also an old medicinal plant.
• Chamisso arnica (Arnica chamissonis ssp.foliosa)
  Chamisso arnica, also nicknamed 'American arnica', is a robust rockery plant classic, with similar medicinal properties as the 'true' arnica montana.
• German garlic/ broadleaf chives (Allium senescens)
  This wild onion variety has a unique garlicky scent and a slightly sweet and peppery aroma. It is often found in mountain meadows and both, bulb and leaves are edible.

The seeds of each variety are packaged in a separate sachet.

The seed sachets and detailed growing instructions in German and English are packed in a beautiful gift box - a great, sustainable gift for the garden. Any plant lover will be pleased.
