Would love to know. We just decided to plant 3 small beds w/alpines or rock-garden type plants because the look is irresistible and it requires less H2O than a big, flowery perennial border. But for a beginner - ugh - the choices are overwhelming!

So I ask you, G.W. buds, what are the plants you couldn't dream of going without for your rock or alpine gardens?

All opinions are appreciated!
