Full Sun Garden - Inspiring Garden Ideas for all Gardeners

A full sun garden that receives at least six hours of sunlight each day can be a vibrant, energetic space with a fantastic range of plants. Here are some inspiring ideas for a full sun garden:

  • Colorful Perennial Border: Create a long-lasting, bright border with sun-loving perennials like daylilies, coneflowers, and salvia. These plants return each year and their blossoms make excellent cut flowers.
  • Lavender Walkway: Plant a double row of lavender alongside a garden path. Not only will it add color and texture, but the calming aroma will make every stroll a pleasure.
  • Rose Garden: Dedicate a section of your garden to roses. Mix and match different types – hybrid teas, climbers, and floribundas – for a classic, romantic feel.
  • Sunflower Corner: Create a sunny corner with towering sunflowers. Their cheerful faces can reach impressive heights and make a bold statement.
  • Zinnia Bed: Fill a garden bed with zinnias of different colors for a dazzling summer display. Their vibrant hues will attract butterflies, adding to the charm.
  • Succulent Rockery: Sedums and other sun-loving succulents make a great rockery or xeriscape. Use different types for textural contrast.
  • Ornamental Grasses Display: Create a textural backdrop or border with different varieties of ornamental grasses. They will sway beautifully in the breeze and provide winter interest.
  • Edible Garden: Many vegetables and herbs love full sun. Plant tomatoes, basil, cucumbers, and peppers for a productive and beautiful garden.

These ideas should inspire you to make the most of your sunny garden, resulting in a space that is not just visually appealing, but also an oasis for you to relax and enjoy.
