Choosing the right selection of plants for your garden is a vital part of ensuring you always have an attractive display. By considering evergreen and deciduous plants, those that flower late or early in the season, and plants with added depth and height, you will ensure your garden remains inspiring throughout the seasons.
Perennials (named from the latin "perennis", meaning "many years") can survive the frost and cold weather, and will remain in the ground all year long. They are many hundreds of varieties of herbaceous perennials, and include such favourites as Delphiniums, Hostas, Lupins and Anenomes. They die back each winter, and the new shoots are protected ready for the following spring. Mixing perennials with bedding plants can provide a really great display, and juxtaposing plants with trees and shrubs in a flowerbed will provide year round interest in your garden.
And if you don't want to be restricted to planting in flowerbeds, why not add some climbers to your garden. Relying on wood trunks or trellises to support them, climbers will add real interest to your garden. Wall shrubs, which are plants which have been trained to grow flat, can really brighten up a dull area in the garden.
The array of plants and complex latin names can seem daunting at first, so why not ask one of our expert team to help you achieve variety in the garden.
