| I am about to replace the pine straw in my plant bed with stones. Are there certain plants or flowers that that work better in that environment? |
| That's a good question! The rocks will reflect and hold heat so you'll want to concentrate on those which thrive in hot conditions. Here are a few suggestions: Annuals Blue Eyed Grass Desert Bluebell Lobelia Strawflower Summer Savory Sweet Alyssum Perennials Balloon Flower Dwarf Lavender English Daisy Forget-Me-Not Wallflower Penstemon Phlox There are others, of course, but the above plants seem happiest where there is good drainage and reflected heat. Best wishes with your garden! |
