Question
I want to plant a rock garden in the shade (maximum sun of 2 hours) using mostly perennials in Indiana and zone 5 (I believe) - it will be on the edge of the woods and in mostly clay soil. We aren't there everyday as it is a campground that we go to on the weekends. Can you help? Thank You - Nene
Hi, and thanks for your question. I'll need a little more information about your climate, as I am based in the U.K. Also, would you like a list of useable plants or tips on construction? Sorry I cant be more help, but send me the further information and I will do my best to aid you in your quest for a great rock feature!
