Outdoor plants spring/summer 2023

In a world full of unrest, we long for reassurance, familiarity and memories that can comfort us. That is why we also surround ourselves in our gardens with familiar products that reflect gentleness and harmony. The four plants (plant groups) in this Trend Collection make the garden feel familiar, soft and, above all, totally green; a place where we can shut out the rest of the world for a little while.

Garden herbs
A scent alone can bring back memories. This makes garden herbs the perfect ingredient for a Collecting Memories garden or pots on a balcony! Rosemary, lavender, sage, thyme, basil, chives and parsley spread wonderful aromas and can also be used for cooking. With their different shades of green, feel-good appeal and fine leaves, these herbs are perfectly in keeping with this trend.

Cherry blossom tree
Spring is synonymous with blossoming flowers. With a cherry blossom tree in your garden, you can welcome the new season with adorable flowers in white and pink. You are also often rewarded later in the year with delicious fruit. Smaller and more compact varieties are now available for smaller gardens and easier harvesting of the fruit.

Eucalyptus tree
Rounded leaves, greyish green colour and a delightful fragrance… Naturally, we’re talking about the eucalyptus tree. The gentle rustling of the round leaves brings a sense of tranquillity in hectic times. Is the tree in a pot? Then it can be brought indoors during severe frost. The eucalyptus tree can tolerate both sun and drought since, after all, it originates in Australia.

Poetic garden plant mix
This plant mix creates a border that is both subtle and exuberant, and is bursting with delicate flowers. The mix consists of the Kingfisher daisy, Water hyssop, Petunia, Cape primrose, Fuchsia, Dianthus and Gypsophila. Delight in the prospect of a border full of blue, pink, white, purple and yellow with an abundance of green stems and leaves.

Outdoor plant display tips
The outdoor plants in The Trend Collection deserve a place of their own in the shop. Display them as a single collection by placing them in ceramic pots, woven baskets or wooden bowls. Choose pots that reflect the Collecting Memories colours – shades of green, a yellowish olive green, white, lilac and pink.
