One of the best ways to provide your garden with life all year round is to plant a flowering tree.
The colours will brighten up dull seasons, but it will also be a great place to put your Lifestyle garden furniture for some summer shade. These are just a selection of some of the beautiful trees you can plant.
Mimosa
This small tree will be a good choice if you live somewhere towards the south of the country, where it tends to be a little warmer.
This is because it is not able to cope with strong winds or harsh winter frosts. You can always plant it in a pot though, and move it to a greenhouse during winter, as everyone should be able to enjoy the cheery yellow flowers this tree offers.
Magnolia
You may be thinking that your garden space is too restricted for a tree, but magnolia is an excellent option for petite gardens.
It grows to a standard height of just 3 metres, and the flowers that bloom look like delicate white stars. It will flower each summer if planted in spring, but make sure the chosen bed has plenty of space and shelter.
Flowering cherry blossom
This tree will burst forth with beautiful pink blossom in spring and endure throughout the summer. Then, in the autumn, the leaves turn an equally appealing shade, ensuring year-round aesthetic pleasure.
Another big plus point of a flowering cherry tree is that birds eat the little fruits it produces each autumn, helping to attract them to your garden.
Enjoy colour throughout the seasons in your garden with these three trees!
