If your garden has areas where the soil is shallow and littered with rocks then you will be restricted in the plants you can grow. Luckily there are flowers that can cope with these conditions and this list contains ten of the best.

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi,?Zones 2 to 6
Rocky and sandy soils are ideal for this hardy, low-growing, evergreen ground cover, making it a good choice for drought-tolerant gardens. Bearberry produces white or pink flowers in summer and red berries in fall.
Campanula spp.,?Zones 3 to 9
Spring- and summer-blooming bellflower comes in both vibrant and pastel shades of pink and blue, plus white. Though this plant doesn?t mind the rocks, it needs regular watering. Many cultivars are perennials, but some annual varieties are available as well.
