Well I finally got that rock garden planted out and now to bloom. It is not large but the rocks cost $40 each . The man turned up with them on his truck and a small bulldozer on a trailer and just went zip zip zip. Done.
Someone said to get three rocks and not an even number. I but compost in as the soil and planted KNIPHOFIA 'Red Hot Poker' and pineapple lily bulbs with some gazanias as ground cover. They are doing well because the Australian Wood Ducks haven't turned up this year who love the rocks as a vantage point and the lilies as lunch. The Sulphur-crested Cockatoos took out the first Kniphofia scape in spring. These massive birds are drop-dead gorgeous but they mulch any bright flowers with their huge razor bills.
