You can get the right plants for the rock garden in nurseries. Gentian and edelweiss are particularly suitable, but also creepers.
Many a garden lover brings a piece of the Alps to his home on the flat plains by creating a rock garden. But just laying stones on top of each other would be too easy. So the first thing you should be aware of is that the soil must not be waterlogged.
The hobby gardener can then fill his garden with stones. Whether he sticks to the true-to-nature model of the Alps or lets his own imagination run wild is up to you.
But he can't take plants that grow in the Alps, because firstly some of them are under nature protection and secondly they would not grow in the lowlands.
Therefore it is important to choose the right plants for the rock garden.
Gentian and Edelweiss
That's why you can also find cultivated plants such as gentian or edelweiss in the relevant nurseries.
Creeping plants such as Sedum or Semperviva
Small creepers such as sedum or sempervivum are also ideal for planting.
Water little but also in winter
Since most stone plants are so-called succulents, they require little water. In winter, however, you should not stop watering, because the ground frost also holds the roots. This prevents them from absorbing moisture.
