I agree with MH. Portulaca, which is commonly called rose moss, is great for growing around rocks. It thrives on poor soil, and it has beautiful multicolored blooms. It will come back from the seeds it pops.
If you are looking for something taller, try coreopsis. I plant it from seed. It grows fast (sometimes up to 3 feet) and blooms all summer. Pick off the dead blooms and spread around the bed. When the first growth blooms out, the new plants will be ready to start blooming.
Another great website for gardening is www.pallensmith.com .

If the rockery is south or west facing you should be able to find a large variety of "Alpines" at your local garden centre. Beware of invasive plants like some of the alpine campanulas and sedums! If it's facing north or east (in shadow for most of the day) you are a touch limited.
