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.

THE SELECTION OF PLANTS
The selection of plants for the rock garden gives rise to the very vexed question of what are really suitable. Should only high alpines be included ? Are all herbaceous perennials worthy inmates ? What about the dwarf trees and shrubs? Are annuals allowable7 Ask half a dozen rock-garden enthusiasts these questions, and you will get a different answer from each of them.
As to herbaceous perennials and shrubs, height is a deciding factor, except in large rock gardens, where some of the taller of them will not come amiss in the more remote and out-of-the-way spots.
Dwarf annuals, as a whole, would appear to be allowable as temporary subjects in new and sparsely-furnished gardens, while certain species are so charming and appropriate that they might well become permanencies. However, it is impossible to dogmatize on such a subject, and the final decision can quite well be left to the personal likes and dislikes of the owner of the rock garden. There are, however, several other points to be borne in mind.
We should aim at having bloom over the longest possible period of the year.
In this connection some of the smaller-growing bulbs (see List of Bulbs, p. 56) which bloom in the winter and early spring are invaluable, while those later autumn-flowering alpines, such as Lithospermum diffusum, syn. prostratum (Gromwell), Erigeron mucronatus, and Zauschneria californica, furnish colour long after the great majority of rock plants have finished flowering.
Some of the stronger growers soon overrun the rock garden and smother other plants less luxuriant, perhaps, but more beautiful and useful. These vigorous plants must, therefore, be limited in number and those of this nature that are chosen must be sternly cut back and kept in check.
To add interest to the rock garden, as many of the various genera as possible should be selected, but the garden must never be overcrowded. Bulbs are often overlooked when planting the rock garden. This should not be, for few sights are more lovely than some of the smaller-growing bulbs blooming above a carpeting of Accena microphylla, Globularia nana, Arenaria balearica, or other dwarf trailer. For a selection, see list on ...
