Alpine swedes lie all over the place (9)
I believe the answer is:
edelweiss
'alpine swedes lie all over the place' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'swedes lie all over the place' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' indicates an anagram.
'swedes'+'lie'='swedeslie'
'swedeslie' anagrammed gives 'EDELWEISS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for edelweiss that I've seen before include "Ewe slides on the alpine plant" , "Alpine plant, celebrated in song" , "I weed less when this flower is around" , "White-flowered alpine plant" , "Sound of Music plant" .)
