Approximate fulfilment time
Many alpine plant species are very slow growing therefore it is necessary to allow between 9 to 12 months in the nursery for most plants to be big enough for planting, a few of the really slow shrubs take to 18 months.
In gardening terms this appears to be a very long time however it can be very gainfully used for site preparation, ie weed control is very important for the success of a project, and staggering the planting times can allow time for reassessment and to gather more resources or onsite help.
Very occasionally the nursery has small numbers of plants that are extra from another order and these are available for sale sometimes right when you need them!
