By nature they are mostly modest in appearance, but they have gained great importance centuries ago. Medicinal herbs are modest stars that appear in the foreground more and more often with the return of the fashion for natural flower beds.
Medicinal plants are unlikely to impress with wonderful, multicolored flowers. However, we value them for other qualities.Even new varieties are grown not for flowers, but because they contain valuable chemicals.However, this group also includes charming exceptions.
On the herbal bed it is hard not to notice the star-shaped, blue or purple borage flowers or the bright orange or yellow calendula baskets. Most of the spice herbs are low plants
compact habit.
On the other hand, medicinal species, such as borage, elk, valerian or mugwort, are about a meter high.Arcygiel and Mugwort are even more magnificent.Such variety gives interesting arrangement possibilities in every garden.
The herb bed can be planted in a place that provides the plants with the right living conditions. The background, i.e. the last plan of the composition, is made of tall mullein, mugwort or peonies. In front of them there are thyme, almond and lungwort.
The flower bed will be more spacious if selected species are planted in groups of three.When there is not enough space for the classic division of herbs according to their properties, we can place a wooden or ceramic plate next to each group with the name and description of the medicinal effect of the plant.
Moderate is also recommended when choosing equipment.Until today, various simple arrangement ideas used in monastery gardens are appreciated.For example, beds with clean, formal shapes or decorative elements made of natural stone often work well.Medicinal herbs look especially romantic against the background of various walls and walls. The stone borders of flower beds and plant troughs fit perfectly here.
