suitable alpines for humid summers?

21 years ago

Hello all,

I've been busy thinking about what new plants to try this year, but I've never started alpines from seed. I got on Beavercreek's website and would like to try several species. Many of the species are from the West - where summers are drier than where I am (western Wisconsin), and I know a lot of western plants don't do well in our more humid summers. (humidity rarely gets up to 90%, but is usually 50-70% in summer). So the following are what I'm thinking about - can anyone tell me if I'd be wasting precious garden time on these?

Androsace sp. aff. kochii

Allium splendens vikuiitense

Erigeron elegantulus

Lewisia tweedyi

L. pygmaea

Lupinus argenteus

Mertensia ciliata

Pedicularis sp.

Primula capitata v. mooreana

Ranunculus parnassifolius

townsendia incana

Xerophyllum tenax

Thanks!
