Planting plan for a small sun bed
The following planting plan shows how you can conjure up a picturesque eye-catcher with 9 plants on a 2 square meter bed area, which retains its charm even in winter:
- 1 “Barnsley” bush butterfly (Lavatera x olbia) as a backdrop plant
- 1 Verbena (Verbena bonariensis) next to the bush as a background
- 1 girl's eye (Coreopsis verticillata) in the center
- 1 decorative sage (Salvia nemorosa) as a contrasting agent flanking the girl's eye
- 1 Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) as a second source of contrast in front of the girl's eye
- 1 magnificent candle (Gaura lindheimeri) stands out between sage and lavender
- 1 feather bristle grass (Pennisetum) as a transition to the front row of beds
- 1 pillow aster (Aster dumosus) and
- 1 candytuft (Iberis sempervirens) form the foreground
The different growth forms and decorative inflorescences create a varied appearance. With filigree seed heads and evergreen foliage, the ornamental grass sets decorative accents in winter when its hoar frost shimmers in the sun.
