Suggestion 1: A small plot of land with nice flowers
Since the arrangement of the home garden, ornamental shrubs have grown a lot and almost completely covered the entire narrow bed. Therefore, all the plants down to the cypress trees were removed first.It was connected with the careful digging of a lot of roots and fertilizing the new soil.The newly arranged flowerbed is decorated with colors of perennials, deciduous shrubs and grass, which conjure up a romantic aura here in autumn and winter.
Two magnificent clumps of miscanthus 'Silberfeder' create an effective background for other plants.On the other hand, the green cushions of the 'Compressum' and Stipa Stipa filled the gaps between perennials.Yellow-green tiny algae flowers develop in late May, supported by purple mossy sage 'Ostfriesland ', yellow-orange tritome and yellow yarrow umbels.In August they slowly open the rusty flowers of the Sedum plant Herbstfreude. Among the shrubs, the dwarf lilac 'Superba' blooms in May.
Since July, blue-violet budlea panicles attract our eyes and attract colorful butterflies. In August, delicate blue flowers open on the gray shoots of the barbula.The ground between the plants is covered with a thick layer of grit, perfectly stunning the weeds.Bed maintenance is limited to cutting grass shoots, perennials, budlei and barbula in the spring.

Tip 2: rejuvenated narrow discounts
The appearance of the garden has been refreshed by changing the shape of the discount.In one corner, two sections of the low stone wall surrounding it were moved deeper into the plot.The part of the garden separated in this way was covered with light gravel.'Royal Purple' in the shape of a tree grows here, accompanied by a few clumps of ornamental grasses: imperaty 'Red Baron' and fescue 'Pic Carlit'. Additional decoration are stone balls of various sizes, perfectly matching the gravel surface.
There are cypresses and two rhododendrons at the wall of the house on the bed of the old arrangement.Cube-shaped box trees were planted right next to the wall.Between them there is a place for white blooming lavender 'Pic Carlit', 'Schneeflocke' clothes and Japanese red-leaved imperata grass. Behind them, a little more space is occupied by the gray-leaved woolly purgatory 'Cotton Ball'.
From July, white flowers of the Himalayan desert flower grow on tall stems, and the 'White Pearl' candlestick springs right next to it.
