English Cottage Flower
What plants would go with Kangaroo Paw to tone down the native-ness of that garden?
Hi, I've planted a bed of orange kangaroo paws. I love them but now it is looking way too native and doesn't really suit the other 3 gardens near it.
In the other gardens we have a lush green hedge (2m tall) and mondo grass. and the other garden we have some flowering peach trees with pretty pink blossoms.
Any suggestions on something green we can plant amoungst the kangaroo paws to make it less native and tie in to more of an english cottage type garden. i was thinking maybe lavender but it may be too mcuh colour so maybe gardenias? or just some green glossy grasses?
I also want to plant something under/behind the peach trees as kind of a 50cm - 1m headge. any suggestions on that? was thinking gardenia for that.
all are in full sun for at least half the day.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I'm not really sure because I'm not very good at landscaping but I thought because you were a fellow Aussie I should help you out.
Maybe a laurel hedge?
Camellia?
Sorry I can't be of more help.

English gardens??? Please help.?
My fiance and I are using an English garden theme for our wedding and I'm having a little trouble. From the research I've done, there are several different types of English gardens and each has unique characteristics, but the websites I've found only list famous English gardens while not really explaining the quintiscential elements that make up an English style garden. From what I understand there are landscape gardens, formal gardens (which were supposedly modeled after the French and Italian formal gardens), country gardens, and cottage gardens. I could really use some definitive information on this to help us design our theme. If anyone could tell me the difference between the different types of gardens and what flowers/plants make them up I would really appreciate it. We chose this theme because my fiance is English and Scottish and is wearing a kilt for the wedding. We thought an English garden theme would be appropriate also because the reception is in a banquet hall in a park.
When I think of English Garden I picture the cottage garden. But there are many kinds as you say, just like many kinds of American gardens. I think you can pick the kind that appeals to you. You might do better at the library where you could get several picture books on the topic and find what appeals to you most.
