birder I would like to see some photos of your rocks?
I grew California Poppies when I lived a mile from here. The grew and seeded about on beach sand. Now that I have clay, they don\'t survive at all. If I was you I would buy some seeds (whatever colors you prefer but they often seem to revert to the orange) and just sprinkle them about in the rocks. If they like it they will colonize.
I have an Erysimum allionii, this will be year 4 if it comes back, I hope it does. I have some other Erysimum that are more perennial, you may want to try various kinds-they don\'t call them \"Wallflowers\" for nothing!
#1,2,4 Here are the variegated wallflowers The third pic is in mid-October, you can see they have been flowering for 5 months, spikes getting very tall!
