i want to plant some flowers in a small flowerbed on my patio that requires little maintenance, maybe some type of vine that grows fast and have pretty blooms, also part of the bed is in the shade and the other half gets sunshine, so maybe a plant that can grow anywhere.i would like something that do not grow tall someone suggested a ice plant, but i have not heard of that.
What is the best flowers for a small flower bed that require little maintenance?
what about peautinas
Reply:Clematis is a beautiful vine that likes to have its feet in the shade and its face in the sun. Sounds perfect for your patio. Try to buy a two year old specimen, for blooms the first year and good cover. Jackmanii is a very reliable type of clematis that does well in most of the U.S. I am not sure where you are located.
If your bed is really small, think of it as a big window box, and dress it with plenty of thrillers (tall accents), fillers (light and airy plants in between your more architectural plants) and spillers (things that tumble over the sides, such as ivy, rock cress, sedum groundovers, etc. Put a trellis at the back so your clematis will have something to climb on, creating a nice backdrop for it all. Have fun and enjoy your garden.
Reply:I love coleus...you can get them at any home depot/lowes...they are more decorative plants (diff. gorgeous, colorful leaves) but they are very low maintenance and I just love the way they look...
Good luck!
