Rockery Plants

Rockery plants are species that are well-suited to growing in rock gardens, alpine gardens, or other rocky environments. These plants are typically low-growing, hardy, and able to thrive in well-drained, often nutrient-poor soils. Examples include sedums, saxifrages, and creeping thyme. Rockery plants are valued for their ability to add texture, color, and interest to rock gardens, as well as their resilience in challenging conditions. They are often used to fill crevices, cover slopes, or cascade over rocks, creating a naturalistic, low-maintenance landscape feature. When designing a rockery, it’s important to select plants that are suited to the site’s conditions, including sun exposure, soil type, and moisture levels. Proper planting and occasional care, such as trimming or thinning, help ensure that rockery plants remain healthy and continue to thrive in their rocky environment.
