Design plan for an enchanted garden - tips on stylish components
Anyone looking for an idyllic retreat, beyond the strict regulations of everyday life, will find it in the romantic garden. Here straight lines and strict order make room for an intricate garden design full of surprises. This requirement does not imply that there is chaos here. Rather, it depends on an imaginative combination of plants and accessories. The following components belong in a romantic garden:
- Flowering plants in subtle pastel tones from creamy white to pale pink to sky blue
- Perennials and woody plants of various shapes and sizes, like filigree gypsophila next to lush peonies
- Ornamental foliage plants as decorative perennial companions, such as purple bells (Heuchera) and silver-leaved noble thistle (Eryngium)
- Accessories embedded deep in the planting, such as garden figures surrounded by box trees
- Small or large water worlds, from a stream to a mini pond

Natural path surfaces round off the atmospheric appearance. Unevenly shaped polygonal plates made of natural stone are also suitable, as are red gravel or bark mulch.
Rose - queen in the romantic garden
The crown jewel for romantic garden design is the rose. Where the Queen of Flowers holds court, we cannot escape her picturesque charm. The following varieties in particular exude a magical Sleeping Beauty flair in your garden:
- Shrub rose Alexandra Princesse de Luxembourg with pink, double flowers
- Beetrosen Bentheimer Gold with salmon-colored, double flowers
- Hybrid tea rose Gloria dei, one of the most beautiful and popular roses in the world
- Historic rose Suaveolens with half-double, pure white flowers
With wrought iron obelisks and nostalgic climbing roses, you can set impressive accents in the creative garden design. Recommended varieties are Rosa 'Giardina' with creamy white and pink double flowers. The more frequently blooming Rosa 'Aloha' delights with apricot-colored, lush, double flowers. So that bees, bumblebees and insects don't go empty-handed, simply combine blooming roses, such as the white 'Hella' or the pink blooming 'Lawinia'.
Idyllic corners invite you to linger - that's how it works
A romantic garden is completed with cozy seats in hidden niches. You can retreat here to unwind in the midst of the flowers and plants. The following examples may serve as inspiration:
- Pavilion covered with clematis (clematis), wine (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) or wisteria (Wisteria floribunda)
- Wrought iron rose arches with a bench and a view of the pond
- Picturesque beach chair, surrounded by lush pots
In the small garden you hide a cozy seat behind magnificent lilac bushes or head-high shrub roses.
Tips
A prime example of the romantic garden is a country garden based on a medieval model. In four stylishly framed beds, vegetables, flowers and perennials thrive in a friendly neighborhood. A picket fence with colorful fences forms the stylish enclosure. In the center, the paths meet to a picturesque rose bed or a splendid rose arch.
