Small Gardens Need Small Plants
Small gardens need to be planted with plants that will not grow out of bounds
, small controllable plants and shrubs that give a stunning show but do not need a lot of space.
There are many small plants that look great in small spaces, for example begonia plants can serve a purpose for a gardener who has limited space. These plants simply wont grow out of bounds, and make an excellent choice for flowerbeds and container growing.
The begonia plant grows in many colours and varieties, and offers a wide range of looks and colour schemes to a garden, more importantly they are easy to grow and do not require a lot of care. Available in a wonderful array of colours such as pink, orange, white, yellow red and salmon begonias are common, and their flowers come in different colour patterns and shapes, either with solid colouring, splotched colours, ruffles, and toothed edges, also double petal layers and single petal layers.
Many gardeners grow them for their foliage, which comes in different shapes and different shades of green, and many of these plants reach between 8 inches to 2 feet tall, which of course makes them a great height for low-lying landscape dcor.
Begonias grow well in pots or in the ground also hanging baskets, they tolerate more shade than many flowers, and are frequently used as bedding plants in the garden to add colour, they bloom throughout all the summer, in fact until the first frost arrives. Furthermore they do not mind the heavy rain, unlike geranium plants that like the sun, and do not tolerate very wet weather with roots rotting out and blooms not flourishing.
Geranium plants amazingly beautiful, great groundcover, happy in borders and containers, they are also slug and rabbit resistant, and drought tolerant, also attractive to bees and can thrive in sun or part shade. Many gardeners plant geraniums because they are easy plants and offer stunning colours the most popular being the vivid red.
A small garden can be packed with shrubs that are easy to care for, they are a mainstay of most gardens and with clever planting you can achieve colour all year round, with shrubs such as the acer maple, or roses, lantana, lavender plants, jasmine and honeysuckle that can cling to a wall and take up very little space, and the scents from these plants is wonderful, on a summers evening to sit in a garden and breath in the wonderful perfume.
