The current paper presents a brief description of several flower species suitable for rock garden landscaping.Over a period of five years, from 2009 to 2013, a series of phenological observations and biometric determinations weremade for the plants planted on four rock gardens inside the Botanical Garden Jibou. For each rock garden differentrocks were used, namely limestone, granite and river sandstone and different soil mixtures. Plants were chosen based onthe theme of the proposed landscaping and ecological conditions in the area. The research initiated in the BotanicalGarden Jibou will help the selection and propagation of ornamental representatives of species that are tolerant to lowtemperatures, suitable for cultivation in Northwestern Romania in the rock gardens.
