Can you please advise what plants I should have for a garden rockery. I would like them to be approx 2 inches high which spread. Thanks

For starters I would suggest a collection of saxifrages, even going so far as to say only saxifrages. There is a huge range to choose from and you could turn your whole garden over to a collection. Other than that there is thrift (Armeria maritima), aubretia, sedums and sempervivums. I would also want to put some of the smaller crocus bulbs in, both autumn and spring flowering ones.

Some of the dwarf campanulas would be lovely in a rock garden
