Plants for Small Spaces
It's easy to enjoy plants in your daily life even if you don't have the time or space for a large garden. Let the experts at White Flower Farm help you find the best plants for your patio or small garden plot, perfect for urban or suburban gardens. Even the smallest garden can be interesting and enjoyable with thoughtful plant choices. Our selections below include compact easy-care perennials and shrubs. Make the most of limited space by taking advantage of vertical space – try growing a clematis through a rose bush, or modest-sized flowering vines on a trellis. Plant in layers, with shrubs under small trees, and tuck ground-covering plants around the base of shrubs or taller perennials. Choose long-lasting flowers and plants with colorful foliage to keep things interesting even when flowers have faded. To get the most pleasure out of limited space, we prioritize multi-season interest. Once shrubs, trees and perennials are in place, do consider planting diminutive spring-flowering bulbs to add an early season of bloom that expands both possibilities and pleasure.
