If you prefer bright colors in the garden, plant flowers directly in the tree stump or around it.
Hollow out tree stump
If you want to plant flowers on a tree stump, you must first hollow it out. Use suitable tools to work indentations in the wood. The tree stump must then be made durable.
Plant flowers in the stump
In the hollowed out tree stump, you can plant almost any flower that does not form too strong roots. Just make sure that the location of the tree stump is suitable for the type of flower in question.
In addition to annual plants such as pansies, geraniums, and petunias, you can also plant small perennials that should be hardy.
Place pots on the stump
If you want to save yourself the work of scooping out, straighten the stump so that you can put small pots with plants on it. To be on the safe side, you should fasten the vessels in the tree stump with a screw.
Green tree stump with climbing plants
It takes a little longer, but greening a tree stump with climbing and climbing plants is worthwhile. Depending on the location, you can plant ivy, clematis, Jelängerjelieber, evergreens or annual climbing plants such as pompous waving, sweet peas or nasturtiums around the tree trunk.
Flowering plants need a sunny location, while ivy, clematis and clematis can do well in shady or partially shaded spots.
If the tree stump is in full sun, green it with climbing roses. This type of rose does not require much care and, depending on the variety, will surprise you all summer long with its beautiful flowers.
Tips
It always makes sense to leave a stump in the garden. Removal requires a lot of effort and, depending on the size, electrical devices such as motorized milling machines or cable pulls are also required. In addition, the disposal of the tree roots is very complex.
