While I am not a big fan of pinks (especially pink pinks) I do have one in an existing bed that I could move here, and I think I recall some sedum ground cover near it as well. Thyme is a strong contender and heck, I think you might be onto something with moss, one of my great plant loves. I will definitely look into them.astudentgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897771369368350331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185837729875061195.post-50221071368282544762013-05-14T15:52:59.561-05:002013-05-14T15:52:59.561-05:00Good advice Christy.

Sempervivum are certainly easy to move later with their shallow roots.astudentgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897771369368350331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185837729875061195.post-50263887701716709552013-05-14T15:33:51.990-05:002013-05-14T15:33:51.990-05:00I like how you mounded the soil between the rocks ...I like how you mounded the soil between the rocks in some places.

They look adorable mixed in with rocks, with their cheerful flowers bobbing along.<br /><br />Also some varieties of mosses or thyme might also work.janicenoreply@blogger.com
