Provided Annuals Shrubs: SHRUBS ARE commonly grouped either with other shrubs or with herbaceous plants and annuals, but some kinds look their best planted as isolated specimens and some can be trained against walls. Magnolia stellata is an excellent example of the former type and pyracantha, Japanese quince (Chaenomelesjaponica), and ceanothus all do well against walls, where their stiff branches may provide support for genuine climbers, such as the less rampant varieties of clematis. Most shrubs take several years to attain their full size. In the meantime, temporary plants, such as dahlias, annuals and herbaceous perennials, can be used to fill the space until the shrubs require it all.
The wonderful thing about gardening is that you are free to create as you wish. Lovers of shrubs can establish a shrub border, while wonderful spot beds can be made with annuals; and roses can be really spectacular when they are grouped together. But surely the most interesting sight of all in the backyard must be the flower border that provides a little bit of everything—annuals, perennials, shrubs, bulbs and roses.
The patio has been reshaped to provide room for sitting and eating outdoors. It has been resurfaced with neat precast blocks and bricks to provide contrast.
The path now sweeps around the garden, ending at a seat under a specimen tree which provides, with the seat, a focal point. The lawns and borders now create strong, flowing curves rather than straight lines. Raised beds are provided annuals shrubs for annuals and shrubs and trailers.There is a bed for salads or herbs,a mixed shrub and herbaceous border and one for roses.
A play area with sandbox is provided annuals shrubs for the children. |
