My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Rock plants for SE Alaska

22 years ago

Hi Folks,

I've got a huge rock wall/garden (8'x100') to work on this summer. There is little to fair amounts of soil in its pockets. Would love any advice on what type of rock plants can thrive w/ a minimum of soil, and/or are long blooming. Live in SE Alaska and weather is just a bit colder & wetter than Seattle. This rock wall has full sun exposure. Dinathus and Snow In The Summer has thrived well in a similarly located rock garden. Please, I'd love as many suggestions as possible.

Thanks in advance,RM
