Rock garden plants
Some suitable rock garden; and wall plants are j shown in this illustration, from left to right: Erigoron mucronatus is very; free flowering, daisy like, i with colours ranging; from white to deep rose! depending on age. Helianthumuni sunglow has I attractive grey foliage; > and orange centred yel-| low flowers. It flowers 1
; from about October through January'. This is but one of a large selec-; Ve tion of sun roses which; j should all be cut back after flowering. j Phlox subulata Betty is a very fine little alphine! plant which has deep' ; pink flowers, appearing in late September to October and which last for about two months. It; enjoys a sunny position,!
but not one that gets too hot. eronica tevcrium bluebird provides a fine display of deep blue flowers from November to December. This one forms a good hardy prostrate plant although perhaps not quite as spectacular as the golden foliaged form, Viteucrium trehare which also has blue flowers.
