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.

DWARF FLOWERING AND ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS AND TREES FOR THE ROCK GARDEN
Dwarf shrubs play a very important part in the composition of the rock garden, but many people neglect them, for they fail to realize the value of a few well-placed specimens.
Dwarf shrubs are planted in the rock garden for several reasons; they may be used as a background and to break the skyline; they serve to accentuate the appearance of height or depth: for this purpose they are generally placed on a summit, on a ridge, or in some other prominent position; in exposed situations they may be used to provide shelter; by no means their least useful function is to relieve drabness and monotony in winter.
Happily there are dwarf representatives of almost all genera and species, both evergreen and deciduous; and we have ample choice of colour, form, and flower.
Especially adapted to this use are the dwarf conifers, in view of their beauty of form, most noticeable when they stand out almost alone in winter. Another class extremely valuable for the rock garden are the small ericaceous, or heath-like, shrubs.
Many are prostrate or of trailing habit and will furnish a variety of beautiful colour throughout the year. In spring, summer, and autumn we may choose from a plethora of dwarf flowering shrubs, both evergreen and deciduous.
These dwarf shrubs may be divided into two main classes: those of a prostrate and trailing nature that are used as ordinary rock plants to clothe the rocks, and those of rounded or pyramidal growth that serve, as explained above, to bring variety and contrast to the contours of our rock gardens.
