PLANT AND POT SIZES
Generally all our alpines are grown in John Innes Number 2, a soil based compost and offered for sale in 9cm pots. Very rarely we supply in 8cm pots, these are usually very slow growing alpines that would resent a larger pot. A few of our larger shrubs & perennials and deep growing bulbs are potted into 1 litre long toms.
