[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s a tough situation! Lack of water and dog pee are probably the biggest challenges. Hostas need quite a bit of water to stay looking good. How about huchera instead of hosta? They like shade and don’t mind less water. There are some tough grasses that might work, like little bluestem and purple lovegrass. Plus maybe some ground covers like violets, packera aurea, and creeping phlox. Then see what thrives and plant more of that the following year. I think you can probably leave most of the rocks, maybe making them into piles where you dig them out for planting holes. Then mulch pretty heavily - the mulch will help build soil and will keep in moisture while the plants establish.[/quote] Based on the regs, yes to huchera, dwarf varieties of little blue stem like "Chameleon", purple lovegrass, violets. No to packera and creaping phlox because they spread by runners. Technically, the rocks have to go.[/quote]
