Rock Gardens are one of the most effective landscaping features.
They also provide that all elusive curb-appeal that adds signicant value to a home at minimal cost.
There are few features in the garden that provide such a variety of interests in so little space as a well-planned and carefully planted rock garden.
The smallest plot may contain a rock garden which will house a representative and charming collection of alpine plants; but, on the other hand, there are few features in the ordinary garden that are so neglected and so ill-understood.
It must be remembered that the chief function of the rock garden is to provide the plants grown in it with conditions, so far as possible, similar to those existing in their natural haunts.
The alpines and high alpines are the most typical of all rock plants and are mostly natives of the high mountain crags and screes of the Alps and Himalayas.
The ideal rock garden, therefore, should, so far as possible, provide the soil and natural conditions pertaining in these regions.
During the short alpine summer the plants are subjected to fierce and baking sun; many of them, therefore, have thick leaves covered with down or hair to protect them from its shrivelling rays.
The roots, too, at this time need ample moisture, and this is provided by the melting of the snows on the mountain tops, whence it permeates through the scree of the moraine.
Also, to live in their natural haunts they require to be very deep and strong rooted, very often with a much greater root run than the foliage and flowers which their roots support.
Enjoy. DT.

WATERING
Alpines require ample water during their growing period and while in bloom; but care must be taken to see that the drainage is adequate, for a stale, stagnant soil is the alpine's greatest enemy. Plants will need most water in the spring and summer. Water at least once a day, sometimes twice, at this season.
Dormant plants and those freshly potted are best kept rather dry until growth begins.
A watering once a week, or even less frequently, will suffice for most plants in winter time; but the soil must be prevented from becoming dust-dry.
In the summer the watering should be done when the sun's heat is at its lowest, early in the morning or in the early evening, but in spring, late autumn, and in winter it is essential to water in the morning, so that excessive moisture may have drained off before the evening, otherwise there is great liability to "damping-off."
The more tender alpines should be stood in a shallow tray with one to two inches of water in the bottom, so that the water may percolate up by way of the drainage without damping the foliage; this is especially necessary in the case of those plants with dense, downy, or waxy foliage which nestles close to the soil.
Plants should never be allowed to become so dry as to droop, for this may cause irreparable damage; but if this has occurred, the whole plant, pan, and all, should be stood in water deep enough to cover the pan. When thoroughly soaked, it should not at once be replaced on the staging, but should be put in the shade for an hour or two to recover.
Many plants, and especially those that have not recently been repotted, will be the better for a watering with mild liquid manure every ten days while the buds are forming. This must be discontinued as soon as the flowers are out.
