Glacial end moraine

[Palustris]

This is the finished  construction and as you can see there is just one plant in it so far. Tried to plant yesterday, but the soil is frozen solid. Ignore the corrugated iron behind, that will be removed when we do the work on the area behind it. Hopefully the Clematis and honeysuckle on the trellis will recover from the cutting back I did to help build this boulder.

What plant...where where where??  Oh, I think I see it.  So what sort of plants would inhabit this sort of terrain?

[Palustris]

It depends on where the glacier dropped the rocks. At sea level you would find things like Thrift and Silene maritima and little festuca grasses,Sedum acre and album, and Campanula rupestris. In the mountains then you would find gentians, campanulas, maybe androsace, sempervivum, saxifrages and possibly Saponaria. Really high up in the mountains you would get very few plants, just the hardiest of all the alpines, the cushion formers. As I say it depends on the level above the sea and the country in which one finds oneself. I am not a purist so I will mix and match. If I had a lot of these situations I could restrict myself to growing plants which naturally occur together.
