Popular special garden plant collections at The plant Farmer
Our special garden plant collections are organized by theme, care needs, and aesthetics. Here are some of our most popular collections:
1. Fragrant garden plants
Fragrant plants not only add colour to your garden, but also a lovely scent. They are perfect for the patio, in the front garden or along garden paths. Popular fragrant plants include lavender, jasmine and rose. These plants give off a natural scent, allowing you to enjoy a fragrant, relaxing environment. Fragrant plants are ideal for a garden that stimulates your senses and creates a calming atmosphere.
2. Low-maintenance garden plants
For those who love a beautiful, green garden without too much work, our low-maintenance plants are a godsend. These plants are resistant to various weather conditions and require little care. Think of plants such as ornamental grasses, succulents and certain types of ground cover. Low-maintenance plants are perfect for people with a busy lifestyle who still want to enjoy a green outdoor space. They remain beautiful all year round and require little attention.
3. Butterfly and bee plants
Butterfly and bee plants are ideal for encouraging biodiversity in your garden and creating a natural balance. With these plants you attract butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects that contribute to a healthy garden. Popular choices include butterfly bushes, coneflowers and lavender. These plants often flower abundantly and in bright colours, which is not only attractive to insects, but also to the eye. A butterfly garden is a great way to support nature and enjoy the activity of butterflies and bees up close.
4. Plants for shady gardens
Shady gardens can be tricky to design, but with our special collection of shade plants you can turn these areas into green paradises too. Plants such as ferns, hostas and Japanese anemones thrive in shade and add colour and texture to darker areas of the garden. These plants are perfect for under trees, next to walls or in shady borders. Shade plants require little sun and have been specially selected to thrive in low light environments.
5. Native plants
Native plants are species that are native to your region and have adapted to the local climate and soil. These plants are ideal for gardeners who want to create a sustainable, ecological garden. Popular native plants include wild daisies, cow parsley, and cuckoo flower. Native plants support local biodiversity and provide food and shelter for native animals, including birds and insects. They are also often easy to maintain and weather-resistant.
6. Mediterranean plants
Bring the sun of the Mediterranean to your own garden with our Mediterranean plants. These plants are perfect for a sunny spot and bring a summery, exotic atmosphere to the garden. Popular Mediterranean plants include olive trees, lavender and rosemary. These plants are drought-resistant and love lots of sunlight. They fit perfectly into a Mediterranean-themed garden and provide a warm, relaxed look.
Care tips for various special garden plant collections
Each special garden plant collection has its own specific care requirements. Here are some general tips to keep the plants in your garden collections healthy and beautiful:
• Fragrant garden plants : Provide well-drained soil and a sunny location to enhance the scent of these plants. Regular pruning can promote flowering and scent intensity.
• Low maintenance plants : Choose drought-resistant plants and provide well-drained soil. These plants require less water and are ideal for dry periods.
• Butterfly and bee plants : Plant these plants in groups and in a sunny spot. Avoid pesticides to create a safe environment for bees and butterflies.
• Shade Plants : Shade plants need less sunlight, but thrive in moist soil. Keep the soil moist, especially during hot periods.
• Native plants : Native plants are adapted to local conditions and usually require little maintenance. Leave fallen leaves as a natural fertilizer and ground cover.
