Rock Garden

The following plants are distinctive because of their low ground covering habit, and suitability for growing in a well drained rock garden environment. Height range is from 1cm-30cm, so read carefully and choose varieties that suit your individual circumstances. For example; plants like Geranium ‘Mavis Simpson’ although low growing, are more suited to a larger space, where as Geranium dalmaticum is a much smaller compact variety that suits small spaces.
