In the little garden, spring has definitely arrived! Little green shoots are starting to emerge among the little dwellings and fairy garden decorations now that the snow has gone and the earth has warmed. When springtime arrives, your little garden may be home to a variety of growths, including weeds, plants from the previous year, and drifts of seeds from surrounding trees and yards. Now is the perfect opportunity to put down your gardening hands and return to our beloved small trees and plants for fairy gardens. Are you thinking about giving your fairy garden a new look or theme? This year, do you want to have an even more intriguing assortment of small plants? Spring is a season of opportunity. Take a look at some of my recent favorites to get some inspiration and get your creative gardening instincts going. Having fun with ferns Some of the most delicate and fluffy little plants to add to a fairy garden are ferns. Although their tiny leaves and stems have a texture reminiscent of fairies, they may grow to be tall and broad, making an impressive display in the fairy garden and adding a layer of greenery to the enchanted garden. The ‘rabbits foot fern’, davallia fejeensis, is an especially intriguing variant since it generates creeping rhizomes from the base of the plant. Their distinct, hairy texture gives the garden a surprising touch. Ground cover plants are very beneficial for fairy flowers outside tiny gardens. Ground coverings frequently give a vibrant bed of flowers in which garden fairies may play and frolic, help choke out weeds, and work well on uneven slopes! Low-growing ground coverings serve as a substitute for other landscaping materials like grass and gravel. Look for veronica oltensis, also known as creeping thyme leaf, or mazus reptans, also known as creeping mazus, for blossoms with a wonderful lavender hue that fairies will adore. The second option is a little smaller, which works well for highlighting details and hiding voids. Mazus reptiles have the power to enliven a whole yard. tiny leaves It might be interesting to locate miniature plants with very little leaves while dealing with fairy garden items and small-scale landscapes. These leaves would most likely look life-size to the fairies and other little inhabitants of your miniature garden. One of our favorite plants to scale for fairy gardens and other tiny gardens is Ilex crenata, sometimes known as jersey jewel. It is often known as japanese holly. This little shrub for a fairy garden is broad and grows to a height of two feet. Its bright green leaves, which are at least as tiny as a fingernail, are packed closely together among the branches of the plant. Consider the appearance of the leaves to a garden fairy! Alpine mouse ear plant Cerastium alpinum lanatum is another with equally little leaves. The tiny, spherical, fuzzy leaves on this plant resemble ears and have a silver-gray hue that is enchanting. Mouse ears are a prim and correct option for the tiny inhabitants of fairy gardens since they are simple to care for, drought tolerant, and sport little white blooms. magnificent cultivators Finally, we have what you need if you prefer to experiment with size and scale in your fairy garden and are searching for some particularly tall or broad plants that will create a dramatic impression next to a small home or other object. A beloved houseplant for a long time, sansevieria cylindrical snake plant has sharp, spear-like points and grows vertically. Imagine unicorns racing through a forest of snake plant spears, or pixies hiding and seeking among these towering tendrils! Other notable plants include ophiopogon nigrescens, often known as black mondo grass, which has large, dark clumps of grass-like leaves that are a striking match for eerie, mysterious, and mystical gardens, and castanospermum austral, also known as the lucky bean plant, with its green canopy of leaves that grow tall and spread wide. Prior to making a purchase, think about plant zones, lighting needs, and maintenance requirements when selecting which fairy garden plants to use in your small garden. Consider carefully which plants will complement one another and how much area a mature plant will need to thrive. Lastly, scatter the accessories for a fairy garden among the flowers and plants.
