It's not necessary to have a traditional rock garden to enjoy rock garden plants.  In fact, these colorful, small plants are perfect for the pots, containers, window boxes, and raised beds that are the mainstays of modern gardens.  Introductory chapters explain how to grow and care for these garden-friendly plants that are cold-hardy and adaptable.  Detailed plant descriptions are based on the author's personal experiences with plants in the wild and growing them in the garden.  Includes excellent photographs to aid in selection and identification.  Hardcover, 232 pages, 302 color photos, 2009.
