Dwarf conifers are an ideal addition to any rock garden. For a cohesive look, vary foliage textures but stick to a unified color theme, such as silvery blue. Create a whole garden with conifers, tucking them between rocks, or pair the focal-point evergreens with colorful blooms for contrast. If youre mixing plants, be sure to plant the conifers beside or behind other low-growers to maintain visual balance as the conifers grow.
