Lincolnshire nurseryman Rob Potterton has shared these photos of the crevice gardens at Wisley - they are looking well settled now, are they not?
Matt T:
There was time for a quick visit to Wisley before Christmas. The car park was packed, but I'm not sure where everyone was as the parts of the garden I visited were very quiet. Didn't take many photos, but here are a few highlights from the alpine house.
A wonderful potful of Crocus cambessedesii
Narcissus cantabricus
Daubenya marginata
Crocus wattiorum
Crocus laevigatus in a particularly lovely dark, striped form
astragalus:

Maggi, the crevice garden looks wonderful now. It was quite bare-looking when I saw it just before the Nottingham Conference. Large crevice gardens seem to swallow plants but in a few years they make their presence known. I remember spending all day planting and at the end of the day it didn't look much different. I'd love to be able to go back and see what happened to the plants I remember there.
