- Picturesque fragrance garden for your semi-detached house - this is how it works
Space is tight in the garden in front of a semi-detached house. This circumstance and the immediate proximity to the neighbors make the design a creative challenge. Get inspired here on how to transform the area in front of a semi-detached house into a dream garden with simple means.
The front garden of the semi-detached house can be designed separately or together
Easy to care for and inviting - Design proposal with white and yellow colors
Semi-detached houses are mostly located in quiet residential areas with little traffic. This opens up the option of integrating a seat into the design that invites you to linger. The following suggestion is aimed at an easy-care and pleasing front garden:
- Two wooden partitions provide lateral privacy
- Greening on the left: Clematis viticella 'Kathryn Chapman' with white flowers from June to September
- Greening on the right: 2 hollyhocks (Alcalthaea suffrutescens) 'Parkallee' as flanking decoration
- Central figure: white mourning tree rose 'Hella' with yellow lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis) at its feet
Place a seat in the form of a wooden bench on a gravel surface in front of a wooden partition. Gray santolina (Santolina chamaecyparissus), lady's-eye (Coreopsis lanceolata) and carpet myrtle aster 'Snowflurry' (Aster ericoides) as ground cover harmonize with the yellow-white colors of the key plants.
Picturesque fragrance garden for your semi-detached house - this is how it works
With fragrant flowering stars and colorful shrubs, you can design the front yard of your semi-detached house as a feast for the senses. The following species and varieties are perfect as the main and supporting actor for your creative planting plan:
- Fragrant roses, such as double, white-pink 'Herzogin Christiana' or creamy-pink 'Constanze Mozart'
- Ornamental sage 'Marcus' (Salvia nemorosa) as a fragrant ground cover with violet-blue flowers
- Blumendost 'Herrhausen' (Origanum laevigatum) as a seductively scented demarcation from neighbors and the street
- Ornamental grasses as filigree loosening, such as silvery-white flowering heron feather grass (Stipa barbata)
As an eye-catcher and guiding figure, we recommend either high-stem roses, small trees or a solitary flowering bush for the semi-detached house. Recommended candidates are 'Rose Countess Marie Henriette', the red blooming beauty from the Perfuma line. Under the small trees, the Japanese hanging cherry (Prunus serrulata) inspires with lavish blooms in spring. Summer lilac (Prunus serrulata) comes along as a wonderful fragrance in a class of its own.
tips
The footprint of the front yard of your semi-detached house may be modestly dimensioned; when dimensioning the way to the entrance door, you should not be stingy. Plan at least 1.20 m width so that two people can easily walk past each other.
