There’s nothing worse than sitting outside with a glass of wine and a good book, only to realise that your nosy neighbour is peeking at you over the fence.
Putting up a large fence around your garden may seem like the obvious choice to keep away prying eyes, but this can be expensive – and can sometimes lead to.
PaulCEO ofplantsand perennials specialistsJ. Parker’srevealed that one stylish way of creating privacy in your garden is by planting ornamental grasses.
He said: “Grasses can be used easily to create internal screens or hedges that flower beautifully, move in the slightest breeze, and need little care during the summer months.
“I recommend silvergrass or pampas grass to not only conceal your garden, but to introduce interesting textures.
“Their fast growth rate makes ornamental grasses ideal for privacy hedges because new plants can rapidly fill in any gaps.”;
B&Q’sStipa Pony Tails Ornamental Grassis currently priced at £10.49, making it a perfect solution for penny pinchers.
The height of the plant when you purchase it will be 30-45cm, but ornamental grass can grow up to three metres tall.
The plant is low maintenance, so won’t cause you any stress, plus its feathery plumes will elevate the look of your garden into a stylish haven.
Additionally, B&Q – that helps your patio seem bigger – to just £11 last week.
TheOrnamental Prunus Incisa “Kojo-no-Mai”; Fuji Cherry Treeis available for just £10.79.
Usually referred to as the cherry tree, this plant has a compact, rounded shape and a gently spreading habit.
This makes it suitable for planting in small gardens or areas with limited space.
Garden designer Karen McClure explained that adding plants to your patio space would help it to seem bigger.
“Use ornamental feature trees,”; she advised anyone struggling with limited outdoor space.
“Multi-stem specimens in particular can be kept to a controlled height in a large feature pot, and can create a lovely focal point as well as give interest at a higher level. Be bold.”;
She added that the number of plant varieties should be kept to a minimum.
“Too many varieties can create a busy and chaotic feel, whereas a simple planting palette will feel harmonised, soothing, and calm,”; she said.
