Dwarf Plants II

Big is not necessarily better for small outdoor spaces. From shrubs to annuals, dwarf plants are becoming more popular, proving that good things do come in small packages. Here are some solutions for the dilemma of size versus practicality.

Dwarf varieties can be fun to grow and experiment with in the garden. Dwarf California coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens 'Adpressa') grows only three feet tall and 15 feet wide, unlike its parent which can reach heights of 300 feet. Dwarf pomegranate (Punica granatum 'Nana') is another petite selection that produces showy flowers and colorful, inedible fruit. The plant grows just two feet tall and as wide, while its parent typically reaches 15 feet.

Dwarf conifers are a popular choice for their varying colors and textures. They're also very low maintenance, says Chris Aycock, nursery manager and owner of El Dorado Nursery and Garden in Shingle Springs, Calif. "Most of these dwarfs fit small yards much better than their typical full-sized parentage." For example, dwarf white pine reaches four feet tall and six feet wide at maturity, while a regular white pine ultimately grows to 60 feet tall or more.

Weeping Norway spruce has an interesting growth habit that makes it great for planting around waterfalls and especially large boulders. "It grows along the ground," says Aycock. "If you wish to get height out of it, simply tie it up to a stake and it'll weep down."

There are also many varieties of miniature flowers. Zinnias usually reach about two feet, but there are dwarf selections that won't exceed eight inches tall. There are also black-eyed Susans that measure up at half the size of its usual 18- to 30-inch height. Even the towering sunflower has smaller versions.

For backyards with limited space, consider planting containers that feature dwarf plants with interesting colors and textures. Containers are good for small areas where there isn't room to dig in the ground. The advantage here is that many dwarfs can stay in pots indefinitely and grow to just a few feet tall and wide.

First, select a container that has plenty of drainage holes. Fill with a soil mix that retains some moisture but also drains so water doesn't sit at the roots. Then start planting. Your only limit is your imagination. Among the plants Aycock uses in his container are dwarf heather, princess flower, dwarf pittosporum, jasmine, 'Amethyst Mist' coral bells and 'Teddy' arborvitae.

Keep in mind that the term "dwarf" is relative and doesn't necessarily refer to miniature plants. Make sure to check the maximum height and width of dwarf plants before purchasing them so you know exactly what you're committing to.

Dwarf Plants

If maintaining a garden has become quite hectic for you then we have a tip for you. Small outdoor plants will not only design your garden, but as they are naturally trimmed you don't have the trouble of pruning.

Dwarf plants generally spreads to a height and breadth of six to eight feet giving enough space to the gardener. It also provides a perfect shape to your garden without any hassles. You can plant little plants in your small garden in the gateway of your house or below the low-heightened windows. You can also use them for box plantings. Don't plant it to mark the boundary or plant them at distance, as they are small plants and can't be visible from distance.

These little plants are quite friendly to the shaded areas. They even grow easily under the direct sunlight. It grows well in pot or tubs and or as ground covers. As they are small in height they can make a good combination with other plant. If desired they can be planted singly.

Some of the famous little plants are dwarf junipers, pyracantha, nandina, pittosporum, gardenia, bamboo, barberry, sasanqua, crape myrtle, pomegranate, yucca and holly. Some dwarf plants like full shaded area. They are holly fern, fatsia, aucuba, dwarf azalea, mahonia, holly malpighia and vinca.

Others dwarf plants require adequate sunlight. They are junipers, hollies, barberry, pomegranate, crape myrtle, pyracantha, and dwarf natal plum. There are some dwarf plants that require partial sunlight and partial shade. Dwarf yaupon holly, many hollies, nandina, japanese black pine, japanese purple honeysuckle, Indian hawthorne, boxwood, pittosporum, coontie and dwarf sasanqua falls under this category.

Dwarfs that are suitable for pots or tubs are holly fern, fatsia, dwarf yaupon, dwarf nandina, aucuba, japanese black pine, dwarf yucca, and dwarf bamboo. These dwarf plants are tough enough to survive in the chill weather.

Some dwarf plants blooms with seasonal flowers like dwarf azalea, cuphea, dwarf sasanqua, dwarf gardenia, dwarf crape myrtle, pomegranate, lantana, japanese purple honeysuckle and Indian hawthorne. While others are reserved for fruits like dwarf hollies, mahonia, and pyracantha. Those who don't bloom with flowers or grow fresh fruits provide green leaves like aucuba, senecio, dwarf nandina, and some of the dwarf junipers.
