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.

GROUPING AND ARRANGEMENT
The arrangement of shrubs naturally varies according to the purpose which they are to fulfil. If they are to serve as individual specimens in the rock garden, clearly no "arrangement" is required. If planted in groups to form a background or shelter, it is usually desirable that several plants of a kind should be placed together; though even here full space should be allowed for each individual plant to develop.
This grouping together of, say, three to half a dozen specimens, is not only more effective than scattering single plants about indiscriminately, but it makes it easier to give each group of shrubs the special soil in which they thrive best. (For soils suitable to each species, see the Alphabetical List of Plants, p. 121.)
The fact that we can have a continued sequence of bloom from flowering shrubs almost all through the year, provided they are carefully selected, is often overlooked. It is necessary, therefore, to select shrubs not only for the colour of their flowers, their suitability for their situation, but also for the time of year at which they flower.
Care must be taken that specimens whose colours clash and which bloom simultaneously are not placed together. Associate shrubs whose blooms harmonize in colour and time of flowering, and allow the blooms of the specimens in flower to be set off and enhanced by the foliage of shrubs whose flowers are over or still to come.
The stronger-growers must be kept in check by periodical pruning or they may overpower the more beautiful but perhaps less vigorous plants.
When planting shrubs as backgrounds, too great a regularity is to be avoided, and care must be taken to see that they do not present a straight, forbidding line.
Rather should they afford projections and bays: now running forward into the rock garden, now forming sheltered recesses in which plants may find welcome shade and protection.
During the summer the soil round the shrubs should be kept well hoed and should be forked over each winter, except in the case of Rhododendrons, Azaleas, etc., these requiring a mulching of well-rotted leaves or peat.
Where a shrub is seen to be doing badly or to be exhausted, well-decayed manure should be thoroughly worked into the soil round the roots.
