Shrubs for rockery garden
Shop our range of the best shrubs for the rock garden, perfect for bringing structure, permanency, colourful foliage and fabulous flowers to your rockery space. Rockery gardens are a stylish way to showcase small, sun-loving shrubs, conifers, alpines and other plants to add colour and interest to parts of the garden with shallow or poor soil. They are constructed as natural-looking rocky outcrops, ideally on a slope in full sun, working particularly well alongside ponds, water features or next to walls. Certain, low-growing varieties of hebe are well-suited to the rockery. These beautiful, evergreen bushes have a compact habit, shiny leaves and distinctive flower spikes. Hebe Eyecatcher is a striking variety with green lance-shaped leaves generously edged with cream, while Hebe Silver Dollar has oval, grey-green foliage finely edged in red and takes on a pink tinge in winter. Callistemon Inferno is an eye-catching low shrub with exotic, rich red spring blooms set off against fresh evergreen leaves. Alternatively, Berberis stenophylla is a spiny evergreen with narrow, leathery, dark green foliage and wonderful rich, golden-yellow cup-shaped spring flowers.
