Rocks can be used to add visual interest. While some people see them as just rocks, others are able to transform these into a beautiful and fascinating rock garden. Rock garden ideas can help you make a difficult part of your lawn or yard more attractive. Recreating mountain landscapes in miniature with dwarf perennials and delicate but hardy bulbs can prove to be a challenge for the rock gardener.

Rock gardens are not only made of rocks. Plants are also a part of it. Many rock garden landscaping ideas include plants that are drought-tolerant. This means that the plants can survive longer without water than a typical plant. Some examples of these are the sedum, coreopsis, stonecrop, and several varieties of ornamental grasses.
