Here are English Violets and Aubrieta, both hardy perennials which tend to self-sow where happy, like the rock garden. Aubrieta is easily grown from seed, but little seen in this country. I bought seed many years ago from Chiltern's...a wonderful seed company out of England. The violets are fragrant and will rebloom in the fall. They make a delightful nosegay!
Exquisite!
Kaufmanii tulips are among the earliest bloomers, and tend to multiply.
Before they even begin to flower, some Greigii tulips sport beautifully patterned foliage. Their big, bright flowers only add to the show.
Red Hens and Chicks (Sempervivum tectorum rubra) fill a crevice with color all year long. Many succulents have colorful foliage through the winter and are hardy and xeric. These plants are also called House Leeks, referring to their traditional use as a plant grown on green roofs, a function for which they are admirably suited.
