A round bed on a green lawn looks like a colorful oasis. Ponds that have been filled in are often converted into round beds. There are many different options for planting. In the following we share with you the most beautiful ideas on how to plant your round bed.

There is often something tall in the middle of a round bed

The most beautiful ideas for the round bed

Depending on the size of the round bed, there are various options for planting. You can use smaller round beds, the center of which you can reach from the outside, e.g.:

  • plant with herbs
  • set up as a hill bed and plant vegetables
  • create a round raised bed or bunk bed and grow vegetables, for example

For larger round beds, the classic solution with small trees, shrubs and flowers is more suitable.

The classic round bed with tree or bush

Especially with larger round beds, it makes sense to put a larger tree or bush in the middle. You can now place perennials, flowers or shrubs of different sizes around it in the form of rings, making sure that the inner rings should always accommodate larger plants than the outer ones.
Alternatively, you can also plant small plants of the same size around the trunk of the tree or bush in the middle.

Plant the round bed with geometric precision

If you like it tidy, you can plant the plants in the round bed at exactly the same distances. To do this, proceed as follows:

  • Plant the tree or shrub in the middle
  • Depending on the size of the circular bed, attach four, six or eight strings to the base of the trunk and pull them straight away from the trunk in all directions, creating four, six or eight quadrants of the same size.
  • Trace the lines with a hoe or spade. If you want to keep the division, you can also mark it with gravel, mulch (239.00€) or even plants.
  • Now plant the same number of plants in each quadrant.
  • If you want to be even more precise, you can also use stripping to divide the individual quadrants into several parts.

The border of the round bed

Various materials are available for edging the round bed:

  • Plants, e.g. low shrubs as a natural boundary
  • natural stones
  • cobblestones
  • plant stones
  • palisades
  • pebbles

You can also completely do without the boundary, but then you have to cut the lawn edges from time to time so that the round bed is not overgrown by grass.

tips

When planting your round bed, pay attention to the location requirements of the plants!
