Two ideas for a garden with a slope

Suggestion 1: solar plants on several levels

Thanks to the three semicircular sides of the hedge, the planting has gained an attractive appearance. The walls on the slope were made of concrete blocks similar to natural stones.The ends of the middle wall are connected to the lower and upper walls.

The lowest surface is largely covered with pebbles, protecting the wall and window against raindrops. Already in April, the yellow-white flowers of the low late tulip open. The botanical tulip bulbs were planted in small groups on all three tiers.

Soon after the tulips have faded, half-full yellow flowers of the ground cover rose 'Sunny Rose' develop, which will shine under the window with small breaks from the end of May until autumn.Also blooms in yellow from June to September the inclination of 'Zagreb', a short, compact variety with narrow, lanceolate leaves.

Nearby, from July to October, thick umbels of pink Patagonian verbena flowers sway on long, almost leafless shoots. The lush flowers are supplemented with the decorative silver-gray leaves of the dense mugwort 'Lambrook Mist' and small clumps of sheep's fescue 'Eisvogel'.

Suggestion 2: fresh green all year round

In this example, straight lines and angles predominate.The front walls of the three-level cavity are made of narrow granite posts with a square cross-section, which take up little space.

Evergreen or evergreen plants were chosen to cover the resulting areas. This way, the skylight by the window will not look dull and gray even in winter.

In spring and summer, the palette of green shades will be enriched by various colors of flowers.In April and May, the 'Schneeflocke' outfit creates nice white pillows. Trimming faded shoots will reveal evergreen leaves. In May and June, small white flowers with a yellow center develop an evergreen garden oak.

and in the fall it develops nice feathery seed heads. At the same time, the spurge myrtle blooms.Yellow-green inflorescences with inconspicuous flowers surrounded by larger underflowers develop on the tips of its characteristic cylindrical shoots.
