Gardening with Stone: Using Stone Features to Add Mystery, Magic, and Meaning to Your Garden (1999) by Jan Kowalczewski Whitner
Covers various styles of gardens: Asian, Formal, Natural, Water-Wise, Cottage, Water, and Patterned.
Discusses habitats: fissures, screes, ledges, outcrops, meadows, woodlands, gravel, beaches, wetlands, troughs, deserts, and paving. Includes lists of recommended plants for each habitat.
For example, some of the woodlands recommendations are:
rhododendrons
azaleas
ferns
mosses
hardy cyclamen
barrenwort
bloodroot
trillium
Interesting section on stone art.
Lots (and I do mean LOTS) of color photographs.
