Very strange Gerd that one zone higher means I can grow mine outside. Maybe you should try some seedlings outside.
Mark, seedlings do survive most winters, but mature plants will die in most winters.
At least with me 3 Km from North Sea and appr. 200 Km N.W. from Gerd.

One that I can't claim any credit for as I bought the plant, Lewisia tweedyi, from Wisley on my visit last month. I bought it to try a cross with my very light apricot form but having said that my own tweedyi plants are looking pretty sick at the moment, maybe I had them too dry for too long. Still can't win 'em all! :(

They do have some nice ones, but a bit pricey! Still, it is Wisley.

Today in the Alpine House:
Androsace hybrida,1 Year old seedling
Astragalus spec.from USA, probably A,spathulatus
Pyrethrum leontopodium,in my opinion one of the best introduction of the last years.
From seeds from Tian Shan,collected by V.Holubec. A bit leggy in the house,more compact in the
open like in the picture from last year.
Seedlings from this year
Seedpots,waiting for germination.I sow usually in January and place them after a thorough soaking
in a frost-free period to the open garden until germination occurs.After that they are placed in
the house.The grids are a protection against scratching birds and cats.

Great set of plants Rudi !
Nice to see you will be pricking out one or two seedlings in the coming months  ;D
I agree with you on the Pyrethrum leontopodium - it's on my wants list !
The Oxalis lacianata purple form is a real stunner too !  Great colour ! :o

Rudi,

Wonderful pics.  Those Oxalis are excellent, particularly that purple laciniata.  8)
