Rock Garden Plants

Rock gardening with alpine plants originated in England in the early 1900s, but rocks and stones being used as decorative elements can be traced back to early Chinese and Japanese gardens. Traditionally, alpine plants were used when planting rock gardens. These plants are native to mountainous regions and grow above the tree line. They’ve adapted to harsh conditions such as wind, cold, low moisture and a short growing season. Today, many plants are considered rock garden plants because of their slow growth habit, small stature and low-growing habit. Like all other gardening styles, there are no set rules when it comes to rock gardening—only guidelines. The plants, rocks and designs you choose will be as unique as you are. With a little hard work and imagination, you'll be able to create a rock garden that your neighbours will admire.
