Effortless Green Thumb Delights: Bloom Unbothered by Garden Maintenance Worries, Focusing on Flora Over Weeding
=====================================================================================================
In her latest gardening article, Bonnie Ferrero shares her insights on various types of plants suitable for different gardens. A woman of many interests, including hiking, cooking, gardening, home decorating, and community involvement, Ferrero embodies a holistic approach to life, dedicated to service, growth, and well-being.
The article distinguishes three main categories of plants: invasive, hardy, and fussy.
Invasive Plants
Ferrero warns about the dangers of certain ornamental grasses, such as pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) and Japanese silver grass (Miscanthus sinensis), which are known for their aggressive growth and ability to outcompete native plants. Other invasive plants mentioned include Mint and Periwinkle, identified as one of the most invasive plants.
Hardy Plants
While the article does not list specific hardy plants, it emphasises the use of perennials recommended by Ferrero’s mother. These lower-maintenance, resilient plants are ideal for a "set and forget" gardening style. Other hardy plants mentioned include Nasturtiums, Creeping Thyme, Creeping Mazus, and Sweet Woodruff.
Fussy Plants
Ferrero contrasts hardy perennials with shrubs like hydrangeas and spirea, which are more demanding in terms of regular pruning and frequent watering until established. These high-maintenance plants are categorised as fussy.
The article is beautifully illustrated with images credited to YAY Images and Shutterstock. Among the plants mentioned, Lamb's Ear, Bugle (scientific name: Ajuga reptans), Morning Glory, and Lemon Balm are also featured.
Ferrero's gardening guide provides valuable insights for gardeners, offering practical advice on choosing plants based on their care requirements and potential impact on the local ecosystem.
