Would love to know. We just decided to plant 3 small beds w/alpines or rock-garden type plants because the look is irresistible and it requires less H2O than a big, flowery perennial border. But for a beginner - ugh - the choices are overwhelming!
So I ask you, G.W. buds, what are the plants you couldn't dream of going without for your rock or alpine gardens?
All opinions are appreciated!

| This is like picking among one's children but the 5 'must haves' for me are: Moss Campion
Yellow Dryads
Roseroot
Creeping Beardtongue
Purple saxifrage They all have nice flowers but , most importantly, the plants have good texture and character throughout the growing season. All native alpines to North America |
