Juniperus x pfitzeriana
When we have a terrain with unevenness, you have to choose certain plants to make it look spectacular. Depending on the climate of the place, as well as the altitude at which we are, there are species more appropriate than others.
Next we are going to tell you what are the best plants for sloping gardens.
Rosa chinensis
The slopes could be a problem in principle, but the truth is that you can have a splendid garden. There are very adaptable plants that live wonderfully in rocky terrain, such as crass and cactus, and there are also others that withstand low temperatures, like most of the conifers (Pinus, Taxus, Cupressus). It is important that we know well what are the conditions that the plants will have to resist: maximum and minimum temperatures, wind, sun / shade; This way we will enjoy a low-maintenance green space and, in addition, we will save money.
Taking this into account, the plants will revitalize the garden. And, over time, you will see how you will not regret having a terrain with slopes.
Plants for hot climates
The best warm weather plants to have in this type of terrain are the following:
- Succulents (cacti and succulents): There are countless very decorative species, and also, you must all of them need very little soil to grow.
- Shrubbery: like oleander, viburnum or Polygala, they are perfect plants for gardens with slopes.
- conifers: those that are short, like the Juniperus squamata or Taxus baccata "Bultinck Mini".
- Flowers: being small plants, they can be had without problem in any corner.
Plants for cold climates
And now, let's see which are the best plants for cold climates:
- conifers: all the short ones.
- Flowers- Bulbous, such as hyacinths or daffodils, will look spectacular.
- Shrubbery: like rose bushes or forsythia, they will brighten up your morning by making you smile 😉.
- Succulent: the most resistant are the Sempervivum, thanks to which a very rocky terrain can be turned into a perfect garden.
