Alpine bitterroot is an undemanding plant that thrives best in well-draining, rocky or sandy soil, making it a suitable choice for rock gardens or alpine house collections. Key care points include ensuring excellent drainage to prevent root rot and providing a sunny location with some afternoon shade to mimic its native alpine environment. Overwatering is a common pitfall, thus watering should be done sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between sessions.
