Classified by botanists as plants that grow above the tree line, in an Alpine climate, up to the (permanent) snow line, or to the highest elevation. So the actual height at which they grow varies greatly depending on where you are located. Alpine plants vary greatly with 1000s of species being classified. However, plants that grow in the valleys of high mountain ranges are often regarded as Alpines . Many are also called 'rock garden' plants, and it is true that a lot of them do grow in rocky or stony areas high in the mountain, however many grow in open fields as well. |
