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.

PLANTING
Like all other plants, rock plants vary in their characteristics, habits, likes and dislikes. Some have a rounded growth, others are prostrate; some love the sun, others the shade; a dry and sandy soil suits many when they can obtain a deep root run, others must have a moist, rich loam. In planting, therefore, the varying types should be grouped together according to habits and requirements, so that all shall have, as far as is possible, the conditions best for them.
It is always advisable to plant three or more specimens of a certain species or variety together, so as to form broad masses of colour rather than the patchwork effect caused by the indiscriminate planting of single subjects. The size of the groups naturally depends on the extent of the rock garden. In small gardens it may be wise to plant only single specimens.
There is yet another point to settle in this connection.
It will be necessary to decide whether it is preferable to plant a comparatively limited number of fast-growing species that will spread rapidly over the bare spaces and quickly furnish the rock garden, or whether it is better to plant a greater number of plants, choicer in bloom, may be, but less rampant in habit.
In the first case, a good show of bloom should be available in a year or so, but if the latter method is selected, patience will be needed for two or three years at least. The latter is the correct and better way, for the greater number of species planted will provide vastly more interest and pleasure.
In any case, too many plants of the rampageous type should not be planted or they will soon choke the slower-growing specimens living among them.
Choice plants will need constant attention, or they are sure to be overwhelmed by their more vigorous neighbours.
