Frequently Asked Question

What plants are the best to plant in rock gardens?

There's a reason they're called rock gardens: the plants clearly share emphasis with the rocks. That takes the pressure off the rock garden plants: they don't need to have the showiness that we expect from standalone plants, because their function is to complement the rocks that surround them. The rock garden plants used to complement the rocks should be selected largely with your climate and other practical considerations in mind - this will help keep them low-maintenance.
