I present here a small but select list of Hardy plants especially suited to the small rock garden, or for small beds, for 
edging purposes, or for planting along walks or paths. In fact, for any location where low growing plants are desirable. 
Once planted they will take care of themselves, reappearing with a greater profusion of flowers each successive season. 
For a permanent planting, try the group listed on this page.
