Rock garden plants
Small,colourful rock plants bring a sparkle to nooks and crannies all over the garden THE FIRST ROCK GARDEN was built in the 1770s in Chelsea physic Garden in Britain by Sir Joseph Banks,the explorer and natural historian.It consisted of a brooding heap of black basaltic lave from the Tower of London.Though unattractive,it was nevertheless important as an attempt to grow plants in a way which reproduced their natural habitat.
However,the vast Victorian models of the Matterhorn,whitened on top to suggest snow,show how easy it is to get carried away by this approach.Modern gardeners now appreciate that reproduction of habitat is concerned basically with soil type,drainage or availability of moisture,and aspect.
Rock plant is collective name for an enormous range of plant,characterised by their generally small stature and brilliant flowers,rather than their mountain origins.Many of them make such a show as to completely hide their leaves behind a cascade of colour,Some of the most popular,such as Alyssum and Ajugas,have no need of rock-garden conditions or care-good drainage and an open position are all they require.At the other end of the scale are the high alpines-rare gentians,and rosaces and primulas.Exquisite in detail,their successful cultivation is often a considerable test of skill.
Between the two extremes is a host of lovely plants for rock gardens proper,cracks and crannies in walls,sinks and troughs or a single block of tufa rock which ,nestling in moist sand,can provide a home for some of the most beautiful plants anyone can grow.
