Perennials in mountain terrain

Hello,

Just wondering what are the perennials different permies are growing in mountain conditions. I happen to be in the Himalayas and thought of taking a leaf out of the book of experienced permies who have worked in similar conditions.

Regards,
Ashish

We would need to know the winter lows of your mountain areas to really give you any meaningful information.
Can you please clarify that your winter lows is 30F (-1C)? Which would make you zone 9 or zone 10.

Cabbage/Kale Family:
Spinach/Amaranth Family:
Lettuce/Aster Family:  chicory, endive, radicchio, dandelion, salsify, Jerusalem artichoke and yacón
Knotweed Family: Rhubarb, sorrel (Rumex acetosa)
Beans/Legume Family: jícama
Garlic/Onion Family:
Mint/Thyme Family:
Dill/Celery Family:
Legume Family:

Thank you. These sound good.

I live in a mountain valley in W Montana (Zone 5) and have had great luck with kale, pole beans, rhubarb, peanuts, onions, potatoes and carrots. I"m hoping to expand the veggie patch next year and try some other varieties.  
My lilacs bloom in the spring, a variety of roses, peony and pollenators in the summer and lots of wildflowers and bluegrass: Clarkia, Yellow bells, sticky geranium, biscuitroot, lavender, bitterroot, balsam root, snowberries, chokecherries, lupine and sagebrush.

Hope this helps, best of luck Ashish!
