ALPINE PLANT CATALOGUE FOR SPRING 2017
I have the pleasure of presenting you my new plant list. In addition to well-known species you will also find some recently introduced species.
As our special packing method is extremely time-consuming and there are a lot of events and orders in this period, delays of up to 5 weeks in delivery may occur. I am confident that you will understand this. Please let me know if there are any dates when you are not able to receive the delivery so that I can take it into consideration.
As it is very important for you as an alpine plant lover to receive pure species, we attach high importance to genuine original plant material. Therefore, I guarantee the purity of the plants that are offered. Recently introduced species which do not have a certainly determined name will be appropriately labelled.
TERMS OF PAYMENT AND DELIVERY
Every plant costs 2,- €, plus 7 % value added tax. Different prices, for example for Rhododendron or special rarities, are indicated in the list. The plants will be delivered by parcel and the forwarding costs will be charged, packing costs not. The invoice will be enclosed to the parcel. Please pay within 10 days on receipt of the plants by bank transfer.
Please indicate your invoice number!
I would ask my foreign clients to pay cash via registered letter or by bank transfer to the following account: IBAN DE02 8705 00003564 0020 30, BIC CHEKDE81XXX. Please do not use cheques!
Please indicate any complaint within 5 days after receipt of delivery. Your order can be executed all over the year, in order of receipt, except in periods of strong frost, heat or vacations. The shipping of orders from this list will primarily be executed in April and May 2017! Orders of less than 25 € can not be considered; in this case please order your plants together with other alpine plant collectors.
I am not able to guarantee that the plants will take roots, but they are cultivated in strong climatic conditions in 500 meters above sea level. The substratum is mixed by myself according to the needs of the plants, with a high share of loam and nearly without additional fertilizer. The plants are labelled and I can also indicate the exact origin of the cuttings or the seeds.
Please place your order by letter or fax. Of course, you are also invited to visit my nursery after previous announcement.
You can also fetch your plant order personally after previous notification in Berlin Dahlem on April 1 and 2, in Hamburg-Kiekeberg in April 22 and 23 and in Fürstenfeldbruck from May 25 to May 28 2017.
With best regards

Extra list – Primula allionii
A detailed description of every species is very difficult, the flowers are mostly pink but with a big variety. I only propagated the most beautiful out of over 300 different forms.
Primula allionii does not grow in the high alpine regions, but in regions about 1000 meters above sea level, being influenced by the Mediterranean Sea. The flowering usually begins at the end of February. However, the climate is marked by extremes like snow and frost during the flowering period, dryness during the summer months and strong storms with a lot of precipitation.
The best cultivation results can be obtained in the alpine house or raised bed. In the open it is also possible to have success if suitable sites are created. Vertical limestone rock or tufa crevices with some protection against direct rainfall and partial shade are very good. Its worth all the effort when the dense cushions are covered by the beautiful flowers.
Primula allionii certainly belongs to the most beautiful alpine plants and because of its big variety it’s a nice collection object.

K.R.Wooster Stephen Broadwell Pink Roya Snow
During the last years I have been selecting some very nice clones out of a big number of P.allionii, but they are available only in a very limited amount. There are about 50 different clones at the moment.
There are some really remarkable colours and forms with extremely abundant blossom!
I can deliver young plants from some new selections of the last 10 years. As it is difficult to describe the different colours, please indicate your wishes concerning colour, blossom, suitability for cultivation in the open etc. and I will select the matching plants for you.
EXTRA LIST – SOUTH AMERICA / PATAGONIA
The following forms are summarized in an extra list because they originate from similar habitats with similar conditions. Patagonia is characterised by a very rough climate. Long dry periods alternate with very wet periods, depending on the position of the corresponding mountain ridges and their influence on the rain clouds. There are often strong winds and storms with hurricane force are common in the mountains. The soil is poor in humus and meagre, stony, clayey, often of volcanic origin and very permeable to water. Temperatures reach 30°C in summer in the lower regions; in winter strong frost with temperatures as low as -20°C are common in the mountains.
The snow mantle is very variable depending on the region; often there is no snow at all in dry regions. In the garden you should use a very permeable substratum, without limestone, only little humus and sparse doses of water. Some of the following plants are totally new in cultivation; there might be errors in their identification which will be corrected as soon as the first flowers appear!
Because of their rareness, the price for all following forms is 4,-€ per plant!
Alstroemeria patagonica – Cerro Retondo near El Calafate, smallest form, rosettes of very few centimetres formed by grey-green leaves, yellow or orange single flowers, most beautiful form for the rock garden or alpine house, sunny and dry in sandy substratum, disappears in summer, you will get rhizomes
Anemone multifida – El Calafate, Santa Cruz, up to 30 cm high, crème-yellow flowers, sunny, dry
Azorella madreporica – La Hoya, Esquel, in nature rock-hard, smaller rosettes with yellow flowers, dry, stony substratum, full sun, young plants
Bolax gummifera – Southern Patagonia, forms perfect cushions made of small rosettes, inconspicuous flowers, not too dry in humus-rich pebbly substratum, in the alpine house or with winter protection
Calceolaria darwinii – (Syn.C.uniflora) Cerro Retondo near El Calafate, Santa Cruz, well known form, forms small cushions with big singular flowers; basic colour is yellow with a white stripe at the flowers rim and a reddish-brown centre, requires sunny sites and permeable soil, protection against precipitation in winter, C.darwinii is NOT a peat land plant!
Caltha appendiculata – Menelik, small cushion forming plant with crème-yellow flowers, very dense cushions which can be stepped upon in its natural habitat, rather moist sunny sites
Combera paradoxa – Cerro La Hoya near Esquel, small plant, shoots lay flat, white flowers on the tip of the shoots, stony substratum, extremely rare plant, probably the first plants in cultivation propagated from wild seeds, 8,- € PER PLANT
Draba antarctica – Mt. Leon, Patagonia, small plant with woolly rosettes, white flowers, full sun, rather dry
Huanaca andina – Cerro La Hoya, tiny plant with cleft leaves and small yellow flowers in umbels
Nassauvia dusenii – Mt. Zeballos, 1700m, cushion forming plant with nice blue-grey and spiny leaves and curious furrows, white flowers, sunny sites in rather moist scree
Mutisia oligodon – Cerro Colohuincul, climbing plant, in nature up to 30 cm, in cultivation slightly higher, very big pink flowers similar to a gerbera, very interesting plant, sunny and rather dry places
Saxifraga magellanica – El Calafate, cushion-forming plant with grey-green rosettes, white flowers, rocks with partial shade
Tarasa humilis – Paso Pino Hachado, small plant with cleft woolly grey leaves, bright violet-pink flowers similar to a mallow flower, sunny places with good drainage, not too moist, for me one of the most beautiful South America alpine plants
DEAR CUSTOMER:
During the past 25 years I have provided you with rare species for your rock gardens or alpine houses. During those years I have gained more and more customers and today I deliver plants to many European countries. However, my propagation and cultivation facilities have not grown; neither have my working time and capacities. Therefore, I would ask you for your patience when it comes to delivery times. All plant orders will be executed as fast as possible, but there is a lot of work and many orders especially during spring and autumn. Also, there are many plant market and exhibition events and delivery is impossible during those times because we simply lack time for packaging and shipping.
There are some very rare plants which I can propagate only in small amounts. Therefore, I can only deliver small numbers per customer and order. Thus, more customers will get those treasured rarities at extremely low prices.
When paying by bank transfer, please indicate your invoice number as stated on your invoice! Often, I’m not able to match incoming payments with customers and have to search the matching invoice out of hundreds of invoices, only because of the missing invoice number!
I hope I can count you as a satisfied customer in the coming years and hope you enjoy my plants.
ATTENTION – NEW DIRECTIONS:
Due to the relocation of the B174 motorway, it is a little bit more difficult to get to our nursery by car. If you come from the North, you should drive on highway A4 or A72 to Chemnitz. Then take the “Südring” direction “Marienberg” (B174). You will find yourself on a new, four lanes motorway. Leave this motorway at the first exit, drive left over the bridge, then right and you will be on the old B174, where you will find us as always leaving the B174 direction “Kleinolbersdorf”.
If you come from the South, leave the new four lane motorway B174 at the exit marked “Kleinolbersdorf-Altenhain”, turn left direction “Gewerbegebiet” and then right.
