Little Woodland Garden

A selection of plants designed for humus-rich and well-drained soil in light shade. It contains perennials that appreciate watering and a spot protected from the hot afternoon sun. Throughout the season, they demand attention with their variety of shapes and the variability of their flowers and leaves—and in the case of Cimicifuga or Phlox, their fragrance as well. We intentionally didn't overdo the flower colors in our selection, leaving room to choose a primary color and the plants that will dominate the bed. You can complement this basic selection with more colorful cultivars of Astrantia and Aster. The collection contains plants that appreciate a cooler and more humid environment, making them well-suited for flowerbeds on the north and east sides of the house. The selected cultivars are among the less vigorous of their kind, so they can also be used for containers and larger pots on semi-shaded balconies and terraces. All of them can be harvested for cutting and will harmonize perfectly in a bouquet. And grasses? We used them here too, choosing delicate woodland species. Luzula nivea will bloom as early as spring with tiny white flowers, and Deschampsia will conjure up a woodland atmosphere with airy green blossoms that will transition into golden tones as summer progresses. And even though we account for the need for regular watering, the collection includes reliable perennials that won't be defeated by an occasional lack of moisture. You can plant Alchemilla, Aster divaricatus, and Deschampsia even at the edges of the bed that dry out faster. We usually associate bulbs with sunny flowerbeds. Our tip for partial shade is Hyacinthoides. You can choose white, pink, or blue, and they can also be complemented by the edible Allium triquetrum. When planning, count on an average of six to seven perennials per m², though it always depends on the soil quality in your garden and your intentions. In nutrient-rich and sufficiently moist soil, perennials will grow faster, and the distances between them can be larger at first; in poorer conditions, it is better to plant more densely. The time you can dedicate to garden maintenance will also be a deciding factor. Our collection allows you to work creatively and adapt it to your needs and your garden. You can easily adjust plant counts and appropriate species or cultivar substitutions in your cart. For example, if you already grow some of the perennials from this collection and just need to supplement your flowerbed, you can keep only your chosen species in the cart. Conversely, when shopping in autumn, you can take advantage of available bulbs and order the complete collection including spring bulbs and Allium, which will ensure your garden has plenty of flowers in both spring and summer. Show full description
