Member # 1025 posted                       Thanks Bill, have you ever used any kind of shrub in your rock gardens? I already made a small one this fall but I did it all with bulbs. Hopefully they will take and multiply. I have unlimited access to rock from our local crush rock quarry. * * * * Tamara's Photos Thinking Spring, Thinking Spring...Nope, doesn't work.lol Plants: 3763 | From: NB Canada | Registered: Jun 2003  |  Seeded: 198.164.242.168 Bill The Garden Helper Member # 1 posted                       I tend to lean toward dwarfs and miniature plants in my rock gardens. There are many fine, dwarf Azaleas, Rhodys, and varieties of Pieris that I like in a rock garden setting. Most alpine shrubs and trees look great too! * * * * Plants: 11227 | From: Cedar Hill Washington | Registered: Aug 2002  |  Seeded: 67.75.214.60 rue anemone Super Gardener Member # 1744 posted                       I have a few minature shrubs in my rock garden. All different types of evergreens and a Tom Thumb cotoneaster. I really like the look of minature shrubs. * * * * Plants: 679 | From: IN | Registered: Dec 2003  |  Seeded: 67.29.219.48 tamara Garden Pro! Member # 1025 posted                       I have not seen very much dwarf varieties in our local nurseries, do you use mail order for them? * * * * Tamara's Photos Thinking Spring, Thinking Spring...Nope, doesn't work.lol Plants: 3763 | From: NB Canada | Registered: Jun 2003  |  Seeded: 207.179.137.72 rue anemone Super Gardener Member # 1744 posted                       The Tom Thumb was from a local generic nursery. We have a couple nongeneric nurseries in town that have really neat, different and wide selection of plants. I consider Lowe`s, Franks, the big chains, generic nurseries and the small mom and pop ones nongeneric. Siskiyou Rare Plant Nursey has a mail order and a very nice selection of plants. * * * * Plants: 679 | From: IN | Registered: Dec 2003  |  Seeded: 67.29.216.114
