Owners should always keep their front garden with the lawn in good shape. In order for it to turn into a charming summer living room, it should be re-arranged.In this project, the green cover from the street and the background for bedding plants is a hornbeam hedge.The upper edge in the shape gives it lightness and charm. wave.
In front of the hedge, perennials, roses and grasses grow in a harmonious, height-varying arrangement, forming steps down towards the lawn.Right at the corner of the house, a metal, openwork column is entwined with the stems of Eastern Clematis orientalis 'Orange Peel' with innumerable small yellow flowers that develop from July to October.
The large, slender inflorescences of the narrow-headed yellow tongue of The Rocket, narrow leaves and golden ears of the Stipa Stipa perfectly harmonize with the clematis. Right next to the clump of grass, the full white flowers of the daisy, or the scallop of the great Leucanthemum maximum 'Eisstern', shine. With sunny colors, orange and pink flowers of the bedding rose 'Gebrüder Grimm' and yellow rudbeckia 'Goldsturm' decorate the bed.In June - July, the edge of the bed from the side of the lawn is marked by a yellow-green ribbon of small flowers of the tropical butterfly.

Tip 2: Islands of easy-care colorful perennials and grasses
When there is not enough time to care, giving up your lawn - especially in a small garden - makes sense.In this example, remove all plants growing in the front garden (except barberry at the entrance to the house) and start arranging to zero.The carefully loosened soil was enriched with sand and compost.The garden is separated from the garden by a hedge of lilac shrubs with white flowers that develop in May - June. In the rest of the plot, there are islets with perennials and grasses.
The box trees planted between them decorate the garden also in winter. Plants used for arrangement usually bloom from June until autumn and do not need intensive watering.The surfaces between the beds used as paths are covered with a thick layer of stone chippings, effectively preventing the growth of weeds.
Already in May, in addition to lilacs, light blue flowers of the Morgendämmerung iris develop. Later, purple cheesecloth, white and pink gaura and white Echinacea 'Alba' bloom. Peaceful places among colorful perennials are formed by clumps of ornamental grasses: blue oats 'Saphirsprudel' and white-green brains 'Picta'.
