Lovely healthy plants. They were well packed and arrived in good time once delivery was confirmed. Always order from this family run business. They have a great selection of alpines, some really quite rare, and they always give a good service. Would recommend. Have not placed in rockery yet as weather too cold at moment but cannot wait for it’s beautiful bright red flower to bloom.

This lovely little plant is one of the joys in my alpine garden. Like all other plants I bought from D’Arcy and Everest, this one is a healthy strong plant.

Looks like a good plant, but too early to give a definative answer.

One of the three ordered was a bit fragile but other two were good quality. They have been planted so should perk up.
