The following species and varieties have proven to be suitable for the maritime garden design:
House gardeners with a small front yard educate classic trees from southern climes simply to the decorative Hochstämmchen. In the original terracotta pots, oleander, pomegranate and other magnificent specimens unfold their maritime magic without expansive growth.

A colorful round of beautiful perennials creates Mediterranean ambience and is still hardy. Therefore, complete your front garden with the following plants, so that here, even outside the warm season, a neat, authentic Mediterranean feeling dominates:
Of course, fragrant herbal beauties from the Mediterranean should not be missing from the planting plan. These include magnificently flowering sage (Salvia officinalis or Salvia nemorosa), seductively fragrant thyme (thymus) and aromatic oregano (Origanum vulgare). In the sunny, sheltered location, these herb plants can spend the whole year in the front yard.
