Colorful Garden Chat Picture Thread

I’m really impressed how you know the name of every bush, tree, and flower.

It’s just who can remember that so well ;)

That all looks great!
What do you have in the background in the third picture, basically behind the tree? You can only see it out of focus, is that a very tall hedge / shrubs? If so, what kind?

That is the hornbeam hedge, which unfortunately also makes a lot of mess, so it only loses its leaves in spring, but it is nice in winter (I think) and does not invite burglars.
Unfortunately also in the winter photo.



As a solitary plant I can recommend the fragrant jasmine, the maple, the red maple (is that its name? Red, up to 3 meters, feathery in growth), Chinese silvergrass, and the willow-leaved weeping birch: the jasmine is in the picture.

As an underplanting (which is probably also suitable on a slope) I can recommend variegated Euonymus:

The bush stuff includes serviceberry, spirea, dogwood (which comes in red and yellow and looks nice in winter because the leafless branches shine colorfully), boxwood (30 years old), and common cherry laurel.

Weigela

Rose deutzia

Those ring a bell for me too and should be found here. Included are butterfly bush, bamboo, grass thicket. The variegated one has done quite well in between. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of that one.

Of course, a lot of things are not blooming anymore now. I have no yellow, orange, or red (except pink or Rhododendron) in the hardy plants because the bright colors make the garden look smaller ;)

This is the hornbeam hedge, which unfortunately also creates a lot of debris, so it only sheds its leaves in early spring

What is dirty about that? Sounds horrible for a few leaves on the garden ground, which also provide a habitat for some garden helpers.

I can still gather most of it. Ask me when I am done.
