I am hauling rocks with my new trailor and build a xeriscape 6000 sq ft bed that requires only watering the first year. I will be hauling and stacking stumps, driftwood, rocks, bolders, and planting native clematis to cover them. They will be arranged to make archways, grottos, and a special mushroom cave to grow native shrooms. I am looking for other hearty drought resistant vines and bushes to color the walkways between the roots and stumps. We will be using colored rocks to group to produce the desired effect and no water needed. Any Ideas will be welcome.
