Rock Plants for Steep Rocky Surface

Hi there,

I've joined this Forum hoping that I'll be able to get some help/advice on what plants to acquire to fill a rocky steep surface. It gets reasonable light but not all Day. It is almost like a mini cliff edge. I want to make a feature of it and plant lots of Rock Plants and Alpines but really need advice on what would thrive in this kind of environment. I'll try to post a Photograph if I can work out how to do it. :-) :-) Many thanks for reading and any advice would be hugely appreciated!

Regards

Bob

    Have a look at the RHS site and get plenty of ideas. Most garden centres have a rock garden section.
