DESCRIPTION

Ligularia reniformis, commonly known as the Tractor Seat Plant, is a striking perennial that adds a touch of drama to any garden. With its large, glossy-green, kidney-shaped leaves, this plant serves as a highly fashionable structural element in landscape designs. It reaches a mature height and width of 1m, making it a great medium-sized plant. In mid-summer, it produces distinctive yellow-orange daisy-like flowers on tall stems. This versatile plant thrives in a range of conditions - from full sun to shade - and is particularly well-suited for moist, free-draining soils in dappled light. It's winter-dormant, meaning it will die back in colder months only to erupt with fresh growth in the spring. Tolerant to mild frost and medium wind conditions, it's a hardy choice for various New Zealand climates.

Buxus sempervirens - 1.2L Pot

DESCRIPTION

Buxus sempervirens, commonly known as common box, is a classic evergreen shrub known for its dense, small-leaved foliage and versatile, slow-growing habit. Its dark evergreen leaves provide a lush, continuous backdrop in gardens throughout the year.

Buxus sempervirens is ideal for formal hedges, edging, parterres, and topiary. Its dense growth habit and ability to tolerate heavy pruning make it a favorite for creating structured garden elements, such as balls, cones, or more intricate shapes. It suits a variety of garden styles, from formal to cottage, and can be used in small and large landscapes alike to add evergreen structure and define garden spaces.

Common box prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in well-drained, slightly alkaline to neutral soil. It is adaptable to a range of conditions, though it requires protection from strong winds and excessive winter wetness. For hedge planting, a spacing of about 20-30 cm is recommended to achieve a dense, seamless barrier.

Can be kept as low as 30cm in height, but will grow to 1m tall if kept untrimmed.

Description

If you're looking to add privacy and a touch of sophistication to your narrow garden, this design is for you. While pleaching, or creating a "hedge on stilts," takes time and effort, the final result is stunning.

The European Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) is the star of this garden, providing a tall and formal hedge with visible trunks. Pleaching is an excellent choice for narrow gardens, allowing space for other plants while maintaining a modern aesthetic.

Adding a tropical feel to the garden is the Tractor Seat plant (Ligularia reniformis), with its glossy evergreen foliage and lush appearance.

Completing the formal look is the low-maintenance Buxus sempervirens hedge, defining the edge of the garden and creating a polished, finished look.

This planting plan is designed to fit a 1m x 10m area, but you are more than welcome to customise it to meet your specific property measurements.
