Searching For Plants In Albania
Fritz Kummert is a well-known plantsman from Vienna, Austria. Now retired from a distinguished career as a university lecturer in the field of Horticulture, Fritz grows alpines due to his very early contact with growers of these plants. “I remember clearly some of my first plants,” he says, “a non-flowering clone of Primula × vochinensis and the wonderful Saxifraga ‘Cranebourne’”.
His garden at Wohngraben is in the south-eastern part of Austria is at an elevation of approximately 480 m. He grows “a large collection of plants in a wide range, not really specializing in any particular genus”.
Many photographs in Baldassare Mineo’s book, Rock Garden Plants: A Color Encyclopedia, were supplied by Fritz Kummert.
