One such plant is the ‘Hardy Geranium’ made up of very diverse and large group of plants, some believe comprise of some 400 species, which of course are hugely popular in the UK where there are several national collections of them.
Some countries around the world are not aware of these plants and how fabulous they are, having said that, their fame and popularity is steadily growing as more and more gardeners discover the joy of the geranium plant and share the good news with their gardening friends.
Geraniums will always capture the attention of the onlooker, with hot pinks, soft pinks, deep red, and creamy white, and they do flower over a long time. The plants are durable, fairly drought tolerant, heat tolerant, and generally highly self-sufficient, very little maintenance in order for these plants to flower over spring and summer and continue to look lush and leafy for much of the year.
Geraniums are also widely adaptable and can be used in many different garden styles from the formal English perennial border type to the informal cottage garden, and are versatile enough to tolerate varying degrees of sun and shade, and are highly likely you will find a Geranium variety to suit almost any situation.
Another joy for gardeners is the beautiful Begonia, it is a gardener’s delight, they can be used in flowerbeds, in containers, in hanging baskets and as houseplants, and they are easy to grow and are very popular both for outdoor use and as houseplants. There are over 1500 recorded species of begonias, and although they are mainly of tropical origin they grow splendidly in Europe and America.
The tuberous begonias have splendid double blooms in many colours red, pink, white, orange and salmon, and has more than 20 different shaped leaves, including heart-shaped, shield-shaped, angel-wing and star shaped, and for added attraction and interest there are spiral shaped leaves and leaves to mimic pond lilies, oak, maple and even rose leaves, and these leaves can be plain green or variegated.
Another heart warming plant that most gardeners have in their gardens in the Lavender plant they are a common sight and smell in most gardens across the UK and the world. Highly scented, and relatively easy to grow and maintain, make the lavender plant a popular plant.
The Lavender plant can be used in lots of different garden plans, and are generally seen lining driveways or paths, in patio pots or border plants, and the larger variety can be often seen as low level hedging.
