ALPINE PLANTS

Replacing my front lawn which is south facing with a pea shingle surface but want to incorporate a large circle of alpine plants, as my husband is not a gardener and is my carer, so not a lot of time. One because I've been watching Gardeners world and see that they are low maintenance and two I want to attract butterflies and bees.
Any help would be gratefully received

The main thing is to give them really sharp drainage so dig in lots of grit when you plant them. They will withstand cold weather but they hate sitting in wet cold ground. Garden Centres have loads of them just now
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thankyou all. Will pop to garden centre 'after' the bank holiday when its quiet.
