They want to draw all attention! Plants and trees of extreme dimensions grow in our gardens or parks. It is not true that it is not suitable for small spaces at all. In the front gardens and courtyards, they are only applicable as impressive solitaires.

Listen on a.
He loves the sun the most, but he can handle the penumbra. He wants the soil rich in nutrients and moisture. It grows easily, so give it a square meter and watch it a little, otherwise it takes more than you wanted.
A similarly spectacular effect has for example (Verbascum Olympicum) that It will grow up to two meters and will do great in a sunny habitat for several years. The red (Digitalis purpurea) is also an impressive plants. It is not so strong in height, but its flowers made up of many chalices are very impressive.
We should not forget the sunflower (Helianthus). The whole family has about 60 species, among which you will find the really huge ones after the dwarf. Normally large sunflowers grow a height of 3 metersThe champion became a plant that measured over 9 meters in height.
These ornamental grasses will overgrown you over two
If you do not want flowers, but you still want something that attracts, try the Chinese ornamenta (Miscanthus sinensis). Cultivars such as Zebrinus or Gracillimus form tufts of 2-3 meters high, and like all grasses will swing beautifully in the wind, which will also give the garden a completely new dimension. They look good even in winter if you don’t cut them.
Pampa grass (Cortaderia Selloan) is more on the effect, but it wants a lot of space and dry habitat. In good conditions it reaches a height of about 2 meters and more, but needs winter protection. Such as a thick mulch layer or wrapping with non -woven fabric, or is not an impossible task, but only normal winter maintenance. If you don’t have much space, give it as a solitaire.
Give the grasses a meter of space around so that they can grow. Do not forget the permeable soil, and do not spare on nutrition. Every two years give them the division of clumps and you have taken care of again for a while.
Trees that cannot be overlooked
Which trees will amaze you? SEQUOIADONRON GIGANTEUM). They do not grow fast, but if you give them time and space, they will reward the monumental crown. In the Czech Republic they are grown in several places in the forest parks and game parks, but also the garden is possible. Just expect them to take decades to overgrow you.
The largest sequoia in our country is 45 m in height and around the trunk has a respectable 5 m. However, it reached these dimensions only after 160 years.
The giants also include typically Czech species, which we often do not let into the gardens and it is a great pity. How beautiful the oak (Quercus robur), beech (Fagus sylvatica) or elm (Ulmus glabra) would be like. Huge and beautifully flowering are also horse chestnuts or plane trees (Platanus × Acerifolia).
It is good to give trees enough space, depending on the type and shape of the crown. Consider what you have under them. High trees often shield and the soil below is drier. But you can remove the lower branches, so you will create beautiful vistas through the garden, but the tree will remain a crown that will give shade.
