Mediterranean planting scheme, Storrington

The client requested a Mediterranean planting scheme to complement this modern Tuscan courtyard garden.

Architectural plants such as Cupressus sempervirens and Laurus nobilis half standards emphasize the strong lines in the design.

Edges are softened by the cool blues and purples of Lavandula, Verbena and the pale grey leaves of Stachys.

Evergreen shrubs such as Buxus and Pittosporum tobira provide a solid backdrop for year-round impact.
