The idea of arranging lunar gardens in modern landscape design appeared relatively recently. They are suitable for those who want to admire their garden not only during the day in the sun, but also when the riot of colors is replaced by twilight and darkness. He has a special charm at this time of day.
How impressive your future lunar garden will look depends primarily on the competent choice of a place for it. Walk around the site at night without lanterns or fixtures. It's good if the night is clear and moonlit. Take a close look and mark those places that are most flooded with the light of the moon and not obscured by the shadow of trees or buildings.
Another factor that will affect the choice of location is distance from lighting. Pay attention to where and how strongly the light falls from the windows of the house, from the veranda, from street lamps. When the night sky is overcast, artificial moonlight will play the role of moonlight. At the same time, it is important that it only complements the landscape. A garden bathed in bright electric light will lose its charm. But it is not worth "hiding" your creation in the very depths of the site.
What plants to plant in the moon garden
After the site has been determined, you can proceed to the selection of "night" plants. Ideal for disembarkation:
- Reflective,
- fragrant,
- "Sounding"
- suitable for vertical gardening.
The following plants will help to achieve this effect:
- white chrysanthemums,
- roses,
- daffodils,
- phlox,
- freesia,
- crocuses,
- tulips,
- snowdrops,
- rhododendrons,
- delphiniums,
- spireas,
- bells,
- astilbe,
- sage,
- turkish carnation,
- hosts,
- dogwood is white or opposite-leaved,
- Byzantine purge,
- boxwood,
- lungwort,
- heather,
- Fortune euonymus and other variegated woody,
- Steller's wormwood,
- cineraria,
- cuff,
- anemones,
- irises,
- garden quinoa, etc.
You can plant flowers in a strip that will look like a white wave at night, or you can use dark-colored flowerpots. A single planting is not suitable: such plants will simply be lost, although they will be white. It is best to collect them in small "islands".
