These plants are normally dwarf herbaceous plants that grow low, some are ground covers, that go very well with a rockery garden. They are also known as alpines, as the true alpines, were collected from the Himalayas, Andes and other locations, and brought over for the delight of others.
But not all rockery perennials are true alpines. Some are the product of plant breeders, and some come from low lands as well. After the planning and building of the rockery garden site, the next anticipated aspect of the finish of the garden is the choosing of the plants to be used in it.
Using planting mixture instead of regular soil is possibly the best decision to acquire great results. Always try to make your rockery garden look like a natural outcrop with the stone blocks gently sloping backwards. Many alpines flourish in the cracks of stone and bricks, somewhere in the garden there is a place for even a small rockery garden, and at least a few alpine plants.
Dwarf conifers, low-growing shrubs, dwarf bulbs and a few annuals, all have an important role to play and there are infinitive possible arrangements. A few plants most be planted vertically in cracks between the bricks in old walls or the paving stones in pathways. The success of a rockery garden depends upon the siting, construction and planting. A very important thing to remember before purchasing the stone is to look for the porous types, as those allow root penetration. Nearly all rockery plants are sun loving plants, so the siting of the rockery garden should be one that is blessed with enough hours of sun rays.
In some Countries, rockery gardens often accompany outdoor stone ovens in which people often gather for outdoor cooking and entertaining, so if you are one of those people and also like to cook outdoors perhaps thinking about the construction of an oven along with your stones will make sense at the time of purchasing stones and other materials for construction.
A great list of beautiful plants to consider for a rockery garden are; Acaena, height of 2 in, spreads up to 2 feet, flowers between July-September, deep red burrs and great bronzy green leafs. Special note on this plant, it may become very invasive. Arabis grows up to 9 inches, and spreads up to 2 feet. Another invasive plant, but if you are the kind of person who shares with others, perhaps you can keep them under control, several varieties, purple flowers, variegated, or off white flowers are very attractive.
Rockery Iris, it's height reaches up to 4 inches, and spreads up to 6 inches, requires well drain lime free soil, and one can divide the rhizomes in late summer every other year for propagation. The list goes on, and unless one doesn't like rockery gardens, the possibilities are infinite.
