What Flowers Should you Pick for Your Garden in London

 

 

If you are starting up your garden or trying to remodel it, one challenging task is determining the flowers for the garden. The kind of flower will be determined by factors like cost of maintenance, the year-round colour to keep your garden alive all season, the scent of the flower and in some cases, the kind of shades. Thus, there is a lot of research and planning in determining the type of flower suitable for your garden.

You can get these details from Local Gardeners with their experience of the weather and the best flower suitable in London. However, based on our expertise and experience, we will list some of the best flowers you should pick for your gardens in London.

Some of the best flowers for your garden in London include:

The Trachelospermum jasminoides AGM

Local Gardeners prefer the Trachelospermum jasminoides AGM for its all-season bloom. It is whitish with a pleasant scented smell during the summer and turns burgundy-red during the winter, keeping the garden colourful. The flower is also suitable for boundaries because of its climbing and twinning features. It is easy to maintain, for you will likely have to trim it to the length you desire to maintain its boundary. With the weather conditions in London, this plant will keep your garden alive all year.

Heuchera ‘Green Spice’

You should keep your garden coloured up with the Heuchera 'Green Spice. The flower has a silver and green colouring on the leaf and a deep purple view. It is a beautiful flower in your garden, and it can grow in full sunlight or shaded places. They are easy to maintain and move around, and they can suitably move from one place to the other. Gardeners prefer to have this flower in front of the boundary plant or other flowers. It can grow to a maximum height of 0.3 to 0.4 meters. It is more of a complimentary plant to the design of your garden, and the plant goes with any garden setup.

Brunnera macrophylla ‘Jack Frost’ AGM

Now, if you want to add some unique flowers with striking colours to your garden, the Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost' AGM is your best option. The plant does well on shades and is one of the best shade-loving plants to keep your London garden lively all seasons. It has silver-green leaves and a unique, unforgettable blue flower that comes up in the spring. The plant will grow to a height between 20 to 30 cm, and we will recommend tidying up the old leaves, making room for new and fresh leaves to beautify your garden. With different varieties of plants available, you can choose the one that suits your garden.

Peachleaf Bellflower

The Peachleaf Bellflower is a welcoming sight to any garden. It lights up your garden, especially during the summer when it blooms at its fullest with its blue colour. Unlike other flowers that will require special maintenance, the Peachleaf Bellflower does not constitute a nuisance as it does not self-sow. The flower will only spring up in a few places and will not take over your garden. It has a low maintenance cost, so even amateur gardeners can manage the flower effectively.

Cottage Pink

The cottage Pink is generally appreciated for its favourable spicy scent. You can easily manage these flowers, and they keep your garden colourful with a pleasant fragrance all year. And this flower is best suited on the front of boundary flowers. Being low maintenance flowers, they cause less trouble as they are not disturbed by animals but attract the butterflies which perch on the flower.
