Rock garden plants are specially chosen for their ability to thrive in rocky, well-drained soil. These plants often have low growth habits, making them ideal for small spaces and creating visually appealing landscapes. Common types include succulents, alpine plants, and drought-tolerant species, which can withstand harsh conditions and require minimal maintenance. In addition to their resilience, rock garden plants come in a variety of colors and textures, adding beauty to any garden. They can be arranged among stones, gravel, or boulders, enhancing the natural look of the garden. Popular choices include sedums, thyme, and creeping phlox.
