If you love relaxing outdoors but haven’t got a great deal of time for gardening, choosing the right plants can provide you with a great looking space without too much hard work. All the plants listed below are low on maintenance, but high in impact.
Larger shrubs and trees
Choices for larger shrubs and trees include acres, which are a beautiful deep red and have bronze-coloured leaves; magnolias, which have lavish flowers in spring; dogwood, which
has red stems that provide winter colour and azalea japonica, an evergreen bushy growth that has bright pink and red flowers.
Mid-level colour and volume
For volume and mid-level colour, you could opt for the hard and heavenly scented lavender; ferns and hostas, which are particularly good for shaded areas or hydrangeas, which are back in fashion for their stunning flowers.
Low-level and ground cover
For ground cover and low-level plants, there are a wide variety of ornamental grasses available. Additionally, you could opt for the hardy and vigorous campanula; geraniums, which are great in pots and containers or fuchsias, which have long-lasting flowers. For climbers, ivy, jasmine and clematis are great choices.
When picking your plants, you should choose a simple selection of plants with a cohesive colour palette. Avoid overly regimented lines by spacing plants in clumps of threes to create a more natural look. With just a few choices from this list, you’ll soon be kicking back on your Supremo Bari garden furniture with a glass of something chilled in hand, enjoying your garden view.
