It is worth the drive out there. I bought some Delosperma nubigenum plants from them and from the looks of it one of my plants is half dead but for some reason my other plant has all the same foliage and it hasnt died back. Delosperma by the way is native to South Africa but in the mountains there which explains why it can survive Minnesota winters.

I dont know where you are located in Wisconsin but if you really love alpine plants I would make the drive there. They even have alpines native to the Western US like alpine yarrows and Alpine Artemisias.

Let me know what you think ok?

www.rockgardenplants.com/ Roger Barlow is the owner and the quality of their plants is outstanding.
Good Luck

Actually, I hear they will continue to sell plants retail from one of the co-owner's house in Fridley (Minneapolis). But obviously a MUCH smaller selection.
