Alpines for autumn and winter foliage

[Vlădoiu Antonio-Florentin]

I am new on this group.
I am searching for some alpine species (Shrubs,cushion plants,etc) that got nice autumn or winter (or both!) foliage.
Also,i want to know if Vacciniun vitis-idaea and Salix retusa got showy foliage in autumn.
Pictures are welcome!

V vitis -idaea stays green, here, as far as I have noticed.... V caespitosa ( which I think is my locally most common) has very good colour, varying with light and temperature, like everything else


Paederota bonarota has nice golden colour sometimes...
Potentilla pulvinaris has some nice subtle silvery brown colour.. I'll watch for pics and think of others..

I think that autumn/winter colouring of  foliage  can be  variable, according to  weather conditions.

Three different coloured plants, growing in my dolomite rock garden, which stay stabile over the winter time!

very true--weather and exposure; dry conditions are supposed to help fall colour for trees; no doubt other factors. sunlight is another--the same species in shade will often have much more subdued colour than in a sunny spot; Many species, though, if they are inclined to good colour will have *some* kind of interesting colour, though varying.. compared to species that always go brown..

Yep,that's true,a good example is Silene acaulis,in the wild it can get a nice rusty colour,while in cultivation it is almost always yellowish brown (though it may vary). Well,i am just looking for non evergreen species,or species that got a change in colour in winter,like certain Thyme species.
