Mediterranean Garden Style, Mediterranean Plants, Mediterranean Garden Design
Cool courtyards built around fountains celebrating the sight and sound of water, tiled patios with dappled shade from cascading vines, and plants flowering for all twelve months of the year – Mediterranean gardens have such an irresistible appeal. Fortunately, they are not strictly reserved for gardeners from warmer climates. Gardens in more northern climates can capture the charm, romance, and warmth of the Mediterranean style. Thousands of plants from the Mediterranean region thrive in cooler climates, with the added bonus that most are drought-tolerant and low-maintenance. The main prerequisite for a Mediterranean garden is full sun and well-drained soils, whatever its location.
Here is a list of suitable perennials for your Mediterranean Garden. Most of them grow wild in the Mediterranean region and will thrive in more temperate gardens. Plant them in drifts around your Mediterranean shrubs and enjoy your new landscape. Don’t forget to combine them with perfect flower bulbs that will pop up in profusion every spring or fall! As you will note, most of them have received the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
