herbie's mum · 23-02-2008, 06:52 PM

hi all... i am making a nice new enclosure for gordon and hopefully it will be along the lines of a rock garden... could you please let me know if there are any suitable (or mre importantly not suitable) alpine type plants that would be ok for a horsefield? thanks... mandy -x-

Most sedums (but not Sedum acre) are fine, and I think saxifrages are fine too.
