Lesley,
The epithet crustata refers, of course, to the calcareous incrustatation on the leaves, but this is no more marked than in several other species of the section.
Rosette-leaves usually 10-25 x 2-3mm long, linear,scarcely, if at all, expanded at the tip, curved downwards

I took a tape rule to this stone trough at the RBGE. It always amazes me and the mind boggles at the logistics of getting it there in the first place. I think it came from a farm, but does anyone know the story? It measures 3.10m x 1.35m (about 9'10" x 4'5") There is another slightly smaller one at right angles to it which could do with a revamp as it is dominated by a now overgrown conifer.

A super trough Maureen, so big. No two men could have put it there just by taking an end each. Must have been heavy machinery.
That's an amazing plant Franz of the Veronica, so many flowers on a plant I find difficult to keep let alone flower. The Draba's quite good too.

A whole series of troughs taken at Harlow Carr RHS Gardens, North Yorkshire on the sunniest 1st April for many, many years. Two days later and they will all be covered with snow.

What fantastic troughs Cliff! Alpine gardening is obviously really alive and well at Harlow Carr. I would love to have any one of those, but the great thing about troughs is have having a whole lot of them. I am encouraged to work on this for our garden and for the Kent Show next spring.
Franz - the veronica is truly wonderful; it looks to be planted in quite a narrow crevice and do you cover these in the winter or are they protected by snow? I am trying
caespitosa
on a sand bed, but it flowers nowhere near as well. I find these small veronicas delightful and also grow
thymoides
and
cinerea
which are rather easier.

Hi Tim,
Alpine gardening has been rejuvenated at Harlow Carr in recent years after a very lean spell. The new alpine house and it's surroundings have proved an inspiration - I will add some more images taken in that particular area.
