I have a small rock wall in my back yard and would like to put some wild looking flowers in and around it. Any ideas? I don't know much about flower names etc.
Flowers for a rock wall?
Wild climbing roses are lovely on a rock wall and do well if in the sunlight most of the day.
Reply:Several species to think about . . .
Sedum sp. several low growers
Lysmachia repens
"creeping phlox"
Dianthus 'Firewitch' and several other cultivars
Alot of herbs like that type of environment-mints especially
Look for plants that do well in hot, rocky soil, and are tough once-established, and, oh yeah . . . stay short-as to creep through the openings in the stone wall.

Reply:"Flocks", they spread well and will crawl in and out of crevices in the rock wall and will thrive in just about any soil ... I have seen them in white, pink, fuchsia
Reply:orchids!

Reply:creeping flocks are good because they dont have a lot of roots and can cover a large area over time they spread over time, also good ones that need very little soil are chicken and hens they kind of look like a low cactus... good luck on your rock garden they are my favorite!
