Looking for recommendations for a sloping yard rock area. Would like to grow something in between the rocks. To soften the look.
I am in Northern California. Thanks

    Hi Ruchi,


    There are several plants that work great in rockeries. The direction of exposure will dictate plant selections for shade or sun but I am assuming you also need drought tolerant plantings.

    The purple ground cover in the photo is red mother of thyme, Thymus serphyllum. It is a great drought resistant plant. Others that work in rockeries are.

    Moss Phlox, Phlox subulata

    Lithodora

    Sedum Spectiblis 'brilliant and Autumn Joy'

    Golden moss sedum, Sedum acre

    Firefly Heather, Caluna vulgaris 'firefly'

    Gold Yarrow, ACHILLEA 'GOLD PLATE

    Sea thrift, ARMERIA MARITIMA

    Alpine sandwort, ARENARIA OBTUSILOBA

    Blanket flower,GAILLARDIA

    Red hot poker,KNIPHOFIA 'ROYAL STANDARD'

    Lavender, pretty much any one.

    Dwarf mugo pine, PINUS MUGO 'SLOWMOUND'

    Creeping rosemary, ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS 'PROSTRATA'

    Salvia, SALVIA SUPERBA 'BLUE HILLS'

    Red mother of thyme, THYMUS SERPHYLLUM

    Lambs ear, STACHYS BYZLANTINA

    Yucca,YUCCA FILAMENTOSA 'COLOR GUARD'


    These are just a few plants that work great in rockeries, are drought tolerant and stay small. I hope this helps and let me know how it goes.
