Because a modern garden has long been a part of our individuality; it clearly shows the specific and creative design solutions of its author. But there are rules, knowing which will certainly make your task easier. Trends in contemporary landscape design often prescribe plant compositions according to various principles.
Attractive garden design with seasonal flowers
For example, the seasonal compositions in groups emphasize the characteristic plant species of the season. Many plants and flowers are shown monthly in a phase of flowering or in a state of decorative foliage, when they are characterized by fruits or branches. Lovers of such compositions study the seasonal changes in plants. Some examples of seasonal plants include the following: flowering wild boar (Sorbus aucuparia), lush flowering spiraea, pipe bush (Philadelphus coronarius), aromatic elderberry (Sambucus nigra), blooming and wonderfully fragrant roses of various varieties and much more.Seasonal flowersand plant species are usually well-known representatives of the local flora. You can add groups of imported plants that adapt well to the soil and climate conditions of your region. It is important that your group of plants looks natural and their decorative signs reflect the peculiarities of the current season.
Design exotic plant groups
Your individualGarden designwith plant compositions can also be based on the principle of the geographical origin of plant species. In these cases, important insights into the origins of species can be learned. The formation of such garden compositions must be created carefully and taking into account the requirements of the plants. Many thermophilic and pretentious flower species can also be planted in containers. A commonly used way to create exotic plant groups is as follows: use native plants as the basis for the composition, then add a few very decorative accents using exotic species.
Idyllic seating area in the garden, surrounded by various bushes
Plant compositions can also be developed based on the biological principle. This approach is based on the general botanical characteristics of plant species. The plant groups are based together on similar species and their cultivars. A classic example of this are wonderful compositions of different rose bushes, where many varieties of the same species are added to the composition. No less interesting are the compositions of evergreen species, based on the same principle.
Garden design with decorative plants
The range of possibilities for such a combination of plants and flowers is rich enough, but there are significant limitations. The first condition is that the decorative plants and their different varieties must be in harmony with each other. Second, some species, although related, grow in radically different environmental conditions and therefore cannot be integrated into the same composition. In the so-called ecological plant compositions, living conditions determine the composition of the plant groups. In these cases, the choice of plant is determined by its requirements for solar radiation, pH of the soil and its mechanical structure, moisture and the like. For example, the royal rose only blooms in sunny places, while the fern loves shady natural areas.EvergreensConifers thrive in humus soil mixed with sand, hostas prefer moist clay soil, rhododendrons prefer acid-containing peat.
Designing the garden under optimal environmental conditions
Regardless of the combinations you include them in, the plants will not change their nature. In most compositions built on ecological principles, these principles must be respected, otherwise very aesthetically harmonious combinations may appear as incompatible eco-combinations.
