Grit

Give alpine plants on the rockery ; especially spring-flowering types ; a top-dressing of grit. Choose a type of grit that looks appropriate to the colour of the rock on your rockery. A ‘mulch' of grit will show off the plants' diminutive blooms. And to stop mud splashing up on to the leaves, flowers and stems, and possible causing plants to rot, make sure you tuck some grit under and around the plants.
