Calm harmony emanates from the composition of gray-touched wormwood leaves inscribed between coral-red centranthus and purple monarda. In this magnificent still life from nature, you can also include the dark blue paniculate inflorescences of oak sage. If not for the silver-gray beauty, a group of these magnificent garden plants would look prim and boring. A few silver leaves are like a pinch of salt in a soup, without which it would seem bland.
Silver effect
The lighter the flowers, the sharper they contrast with the green of the leaves. The silvery leaves, as if covered with a light veil, do not claim attention and politely stay in the shade, gently erasing this contrast. Delicate pink and light lilac-blue tones can now come to the fore, successfully complementing each other.
Among plants with flowers of rich tones, silver-gray neighbors create smoother transitions from one color to another. Almost unnoticeable among the red poppy and blue catnip is the modest geranium, but it was thanks to it that the most delicate, inextricable harmony with the light gray leaves of the catnip arose.
Most silver garden decorations love the sun
It is in sunny places that they grow luxuriantly and their leaves acquire the most intense silver color. An indispensable condition The soil also remains: it should be loose, slightly moist or dry. Pruning in mid-summer after flowering promotes intense leaf color and uniform plant growth.
With the cooler days of autumn upon us, don't expect much from these sun worshipers.
True, santolina, sage and lavender in areas with warm climates do not shed their leaves for the winter, but they are also affected by short daylight hours and high humidity: the silver color of the leaves weakens and even disappears completely.

Looks nice, but I prefer bright colors. Or silver combined with blue. Bells, for example, or lupins. Bright spots further emphasize the silvery beauty. In the flowerbed I usually make catnip the center flower arrangement and surround it with white and blue bells. Marina 03/01/2016
And they forgot about edelweiss, it’s also silver. And it blooms too silver flowers. The flower itself may be inconspicuous, but its shape is very original, like a star. By the way, it’s completely unpretentious.

Well, we still need to look for plants with silvery shades. We have been looking for all kinds of flowers in these shades for a long time. And then they also need to be correctly combined with flowers of other colors. This is necessary so that they look harmonious in the flowerbed, and not separately from the other flowers. True, this is not difficult to do; it is enough to experiment once in the spring and then select suitable combination colors.
Add a commentOn garden plants there is also fashion. IN last years It’s “well, it’s simply indecent” for a gardener not to have an alpine slide in his garden. What would a hill be without silver leaf plants! And in other sunny places in the garden, “silver lace” in flower beds is miraculously good.
First of all, this is - wormwood (artemisia). There are many types of them in nature, and even a bush of common wormwood with silvery leaves, grown from a seed accidentally blown by the wind, can become a decoration for a flower garden. You just cut it at a height of 20-30 cm. And when it starts to bush, cut it again - give it the shape of a ball, for example. Perennial decorative wormwood They grow easily and are best propagated by dividing the rhizomes.
Chistets (stahis), unlike lacy wormwood, covers the ground with dense silver rugs.
A popular ground cover plant spreads along the ground like a light fluffy cloud. Its leaves are needle-shaped and pubescent. The shoots are thin, densely branching, creeping. In the second half of summer, the tree blooms with white star-shaped flowers, which greatly decorate it. The plant can be propagated by dividing bushes in spring and autumn, by cutting shoots in spring and by seed. A new product has appeared in my flower garden - a perennial decorative pyrethrum. By appearance it resembles cineraria (ragus), forms bushes 25-30 cm high. Silver leaves, strongly dissected, lace. It is very decorative throughout the summer and retains its beauty until snow falls. After frosts it does not lie down and does not turn black. Decorative pyrethrum was grown in seedlings from seeds. How will the new product behave in our conditions in the future? Wait and see.
An “aggressor” also grows in my flower garden anaphalis. This is what you need an eye for! It is growing at an incredible speed. Until mid-summer (subject to constant cutting off of new roots) - this is an erect, dense bush up to 70 cm high with small oblong silvery-pubescent leaves. Anafalis is very beautiful next to evergreen conifers, for example, Cossack juniper. In mid-summer, clusters of pea-buds appear at the ends of the shoots, blooming into tiny white immortelle flowers. Branches cut at this stage are excellent dried flowers; when dried they retain their silver color. During flowering, anafalis requires a garter, because the stems lie down. In dry autumn, the silver bush decorates the flower garden for a long time, but after the rains it is better to prune it.
Everyone has silver leaf plants there is one thing in common important condition growing - sun. The more its rays, the brighter their silver burns.
Silver-gray plants They don’t look at all like gray mice. Rather, they look like prim diplomats at a high-society reception. The design of a flower bed in gray tones requires special art so that the gray does not become boring, but looks noble.
To create such an elegant and stylish flower garden with your own hands, it is not at all necessary to paint everything in gray tones.
On the contrary, you need to use a variety of matching colors. Later in this article we will look at an approximate planting plan, using its example you will see how you can combine various colors in the design of a “silver” flower bed.
In cloudy weather and in shady corners, silver plants bring light and highlight other colors; in the sun they shine with a noble metallic sheen. When designing flower beds, you need to follow the rules of accents.
For “silver” flower beds, there are plants with leaves of various sizes, shapes and textures; variegated flower beds can be surrounded by one or two dominant species. Such dominants act as an elegant accompaniment in the background of plantings - for example, low bushes of sage or wormwood.
Empty spaces will be filled with ground cover species such as Chistets Byzantine or gray fescue. Silver-gray color diplomatically connects flashy rich colors or shining cold tones, like a frame emphasizing the beauty of semi-precious stones. But silver color is best combined with muted, delicate pastel tones.
Gray discount - flower garden diagram
If you want to create a gray flower bed, follow the simple rules that we offer; you can easily create an excellent flower garden with your own hands. We offer you a planting plan in which we have thought out the design for your flowerbed down to the smallest detail.
The leading part in this composition is performed two bushes of maquea cordate, located in the corners of the house and attracting the eye.
She is accompanied by lower eryngium(Miss Willmott's Ghost), Louis wormwood(Silver Queen) and clary sage.
In front of them are located bearded irises, breaking the surface into separate parts. As a contrast to the composition for this flower bed, I planted alpine sheep.
The foregrounds occupy lavender And Chistets Byzantine, a myrtle-leaved milkweed hangs over the stonework.
In the illustration of the planting plan, the number of plants is indicated as a fraction. The letters indicate:
a- Louis Wormwood (Artemizia ludoviciana Silver Queen)
b- Bearded Iris (Iris barbata Superstition)
With- Lavender angustifolia (Lavandula anqustipholia)
d- Seaside cineraria (Senecio cineraria)
e- Eryngium Miss Willmott's Ghost
f- Alpine sheep (Helictotrihon sempervirens)
g- Melianthus (Melianthus major)
h- Byzantine chistets (Stachys byzantina)
i- Gypsophila paniculata (Gypsophila paniculata)
j- Wormwood (Powis Castle)
k- Schmidt's wormwood (Artemisia schmidtiana Nana)
l- Sunflower (Heliathemum Henfield Brilliant)
m- Clary sage (Salvia sclarea)
n- Macleaya cordata
O- Euphorbia (Salvia myrsinites)
p- Pseudolysimachion spicatum subsp. incanum
The most interesting combinations with gray were used for this flower garden:
 |
Dark red/gray-green - very strong sound, sets off additional contrasts. |
 |
Silver/light pink - the most winning combination |
The silvery-gray color of the foliage is given by a waxy coating (cuticle) or fine hairs that serve the plants as protection from scorching sun rays and drying winds. Such species grow best in open sunny places, this is their usual habitat.
Many silvery species are decorative-leaved plants; their flowers are small and inconspicuous. When creating a flower garden composition, it is important to observe the following rules: in the background there are one or two tall sculptural bushes, as an accompaniment they are accompanied by medium-sized plants (various sage or wormwood), empty spaces are filled with ground cover plants (Byzantine chickweed or gray fescue).
Artemisia for borders
Chernobyl, or common wormwood (Artemisia vulgaris), has been known since ancient times as a spice for poultry dishes. The popular vermouth owes its appearance to wormwood (Artemisia absintmm).
For the garden, herbs like wormwood will provide a whole range of different sizes and shapes, giving it an elegant look. The main thing is that there are dry places for them, securely covered with snow in winter.
Be careful! Wormwoods reproduce incredibly quickly. If the rapid growth of this grass is not controlled, it can easily turn into weeds. Therefore, mark the place of wormwood on the plan of your flower garden and make sure that this grass does not cross the boundaries designated for it. Weed out all offending plants in a timely manner.
Plants in gray
The characteristic waxy coating or hairs on the foliage and stems of all gray plants gives them a variety of shades.
The leaves of Cineraria maritima shine with bright silver. Metallic luster is characteristic of wormwood. Salvia officinalis is colored in a noble olive-gray color. The leaves of alpine sheep and gray fescue give off a blue color. The leaves of the sedum are gray-green, while those of the eryngium are covered with a gray-purple coating.

Plants with silver foliage will add sophistication to your garden. After all, silver traditionally indicates good taste its owner.
Most of us silver leaf color evokes memories of the distant, gentle south: olive groves, the smells of sage and wormwood... Indeed, plants with such spectacular foliage are more often found in the southern regions. But for the middle zone and North-West of Russia there are also many reliable candidates. Champion by color intensity among trees and shrubs with silver foliage You can safely consider it a silver sucker. 
Its name already speaks for itself. It grows as a large bush or small tree and has many advantages. 
Judge for yourself: it is light-loving, drought- and frost-resistant, and tolerates haircuts well. Unfortunately, it also has a serious drawback: the speed of formation of shoots, especially on light soils, is also champion-like. Anyone who is categorically not in the mood to fight with shoots should pay attention to the shaggy pear: 
It is drought-resistant and quite frost-resistant (young shoots freeze only in severe winters with frosts below -30°), but it requires a well-lit place in the garden. 
Without formative pruning, you will get a medium-sized tree 3–4 m high and delicate spring flowering, although not every year. 
In addition, this pear tree tolerates pruning well, developing a dense crown of a given shape and height.
A close relative of the oleaster, the willow-leaved sea buckthorn, boasts not only silvery foliage, but also edible fruits.
Alas, she also actively “shoots” shoots far from the space allotted to the bush.
When it comes to trees with silver leaves, the first thing that comes to mind is the willow. Or rather, willows, among which there are both giants and dwarfs.
For example, silver white willow is a large tree with a beautiful wide crown, which is often found in parks. By annual pruning you can try to keep it at a height of 3 m, but it is truly good in its natural size.
Shrub willows - woolly and creeping 'Argentea' - are perfect for small gardens.
The first grows as a compact, rounded bush a meter high, the shoots of which are covered with round leaves, soft due to dense pubescence. She usually doesn't need regular haircuts. Creeping willow pruning, on the contrary, is strongly recommended: only with the help of an annual short haircut you will receive a fountain bush. Its silver “jets” will rise 50–70 cm in height and occupy about 1 m in diameter.
Perennials for sunny places
Sugar lungwort
In dry sunny areas, wormwood will be out of competition. Moreover, both in the literal and figurative sense: they not only delight with their intense silver color, but also grow quickly, often overwhelming their neighbors.
Tall wormwood (aka Absinthe, 120 cm) is suitable only for large flower beds and massifs. It is aggressive, and in addition, has a depressing effect on other plants. P. Pursha and Ludovika are a little lower, but no less actively growing. These types of wormwood are durable and unpretentious. They do not need special care, but they lose their slimness and brightness of color if there is an excess of nitrogen in the soil.
The carved leaves of Schmidt's wormwood seem rather ashen, but are unusually graceful. Cushion-shaped bushes with delicate smoky foliage will decorate any flower garden or group with conifers and deciduous shrubs. Periodic pruning of its shoots is welcome. Moreover, in gardens it is often not species plants that are planted, but low-growing varieties– ‘Nana’ or ‘Silver Mound’. Steller's low-growing wormwood is also beautiful.
It has woody shoots at the base and bright leaves with amazing patterns. This species gets wet easily, so the best place for it is in a well-drained area of a rocky garden. Needs pruning of shoots and regular rejuvenation of clumps.
Wormwood Pursha
But the matter, of course, is not limited to wormwood alone. Already in June, the pearl anaphalis will delight you with its dense clump - unpretentious perennial 50 cm high. It is very aggressive, but just as elegant: its leaves and stems attract attention with their bright silver color
Its more compact and “well-mannered” relative is Anaphalis three-veined.
Steller's Wormwood:
Many gardeners are familiar with the woolly chickweed (“sheep’s ears”), soft leaves which are covered with thick grayish-silver fluff.
For those who don’t like its “lanky”, not very attractive peduncles,
can you advise compact variety‘Silky Fleece’ with flower stems only 10 cm high 
or ‘Cotton Ball’ - no flowers at all.
True, in the spring the clumps of chistema need to be put in order - to trim the shoots, to remove the leaves damaged during wintering.
Of the silvery groundcover perennials, the most indispensable in the garden are the tomentose and Biberstein.
They are suitable for creating borders, “carpets”, and are used as hanging perennials. They are completely unpretentious, grow well in partial shade, and even bloom elegantly in June. But cutting is required - after flowering and again at the end of summer.
The varieties of gray speedwell ‘Silver Sea’, ‘Silberteppich’ and others are very good in flower beds - low compact plants with bright blue flowers.
In the shady flower garden
The range of perennials with silver foliage for shady places is also wide.
As a ground cover plant, the speckled chrysalis with low rising shoots is perfect. Its few varieties are distinguished by the intensity of the color of the leaves with a beautiful silver pattern, the speed of growth and the shade of pink-lilac flowers that appear in early summer. The plants are hardy, but do not overwinter well on soaking soils. After flowering, pruning of shoots is advisable.

Their leaves can have pubescence or a bluish coating, have a border, spots or uniform coloring, be thin and tender or fleshy and strong, open in all their glory in the hot sun or feel better in the shade, burned by a careless midday ray. Let's talk about plants whose foliage, thanks to gray shades, brings peace and tranquility, grace and harmony, freshness and lightness to the flower garden
Gray-leaved plants are completely “gray mice” - they attract the eye and decorate the composition, but they do it nobly and unobtrusively.
Gray-leaved plants include plants with silver (Perovskia wormwood, white cornflower, wormwood Pursha), gray (stachys byzantine 'Silky Fleece', 'Silver Carpet', three-veined anafalis), grayish-green (Buddleya David, Spiraea Douglas and S. Willarda) bluish ( keleria sizaya, Magellanus grate), bluish ( Arabis alpine subspecies Caucasian ‘Flore Pleno’, dianthus pinnate) foliage.
We will not count the number of shades of gray, especially since the perception of color depends on lighting, but we note that in a flower garden, especially one designed in a natural style, it is advisable to place plants with silver different shades to eliminate sharp transitions and give the composition naturalness and ease.
Where will “gray” plants be appropriate and desirable?
There are many options.
Judge for yourself:
- silver color is an excellent background for exotic plants, be it purple-leaved perilla and pennisetum, majestic canna or luxurious eremurus;
- ampelous silvery plants can not only be used in hanging baskets as a background and environment of colorful annuals (petunias, sanvitalia, bacopa, diascia, lobelia, brachycoma), but also to imitate a stream, a waterfall, and be used for so-called spilled flower beds;
- the silver color is light and light, so trees and shrubs with silver foliage (Aria rowan, buckthorn, willow pear, silver oleagin) seem less heavy and voluminous than green-leaved plants with similar crown sizes;
- shade-tolerant “gray-leaved” are a magical ray of light in the dark kingdom. It should be noted that there are not many of them among the “gray” plants. These are varieties of hosta (‘Baby Bunting’, ‘BigMama’), orvala (‘Silva’) and I. zelenchukova (var. argentatum), brunners (‘Jack Frost’, ‘LookingGlass’), lungwort (‘Spilled Milk’, ‘Majeste’), Nippon grasshopper (‘Silver Falls’, ‘Metallica Crispa’). It should be noted that the last two species are not entirely decorative in mid-spring and require early partners. Most of the “gray” plants have pubescence on the leaves (Ceresis tomentosa, Euryops acreus, Tomentosa yarrow) or a bluish coating (Engineum seaside, Sedum telephium, Valis fescue) and prefer sunny habitats, are unpretentious and get along well on poor, dry soils;
- gray-leaved plants “reconcile” excessively bright colors neighbors, without drowning them out (effective with raspberry echinacea, gazania and rudbeckia suns, salvia fire candles);
- light blue and white flowers are somewhat lost on a gray background, but in a monochrome composition such subtle transitions help avoid monotony;
- bright blue flowers ( baptisia, flax) with silver they look fresh and cheerful;
- silvery foliage plus vertical inflorescences: Speedwell spicata subspecies incana, long-leaved mullein, K. olympic and K. bombuciferum - indispensable accents for mixborders;
- some of the gray ones have inconspicuous flowers; however, there are also those whose flowers shine especially brightly against the background of the leaves (the cute calico of the carnation grass, the cheerful milkweed with lemon inflorescences, the purple sparkles of the crowned lychnis). Among them there are also spring-flowering ones ( viola ‘Silver Samurai’), and decorating
- garden with inflorescences in the first half of summer (sunflower ‘Henfield Brilliant’), and those blooming at the end of summer (Dubrovnik vulgaris), and participants in the autumn flower garden (twig millet ‘Dallas Blues’, ‘Heavy Metal’);
- Among the bluish-leaved plants there are many grasses (blue molinia, blue fescue, blue sesleria).
they can not only complement the mixborder and decorate the garden of cereals in the company of “smoky* soddy pike, reed grass, spreading sporobol, pinkish Chinese miscanthus, maned barley, but also become excellent tapeworms.
It should be remembered that gray-leaved plants will be lost against the background of gray tiles or gray gravel (in this case, it is better to place them in the middle ground, and select green-leaved partners in the foreground).
When placing gray ones in a container, it is better to choose the color of the latter in a beige-brown range.
Individual heat-loving “gray” plants can and should be invited into your garden as an annual crop. These are, first of all, hanging plants - silver dichondra, woolly gnafalium, as well as garden decoration herbs– sage officinalis. The named plants can also be used as a temporary crop.
Plants with syrah and blue foliage - pictured:
1. BLOWING IN THE SECOND HALF OF SUMMER Anaphalis pearl, a lover of sun and heat, has rhizomes located close to the soil surface, requires caution when weeding and restriction of the root system.
2. WORTHY DECORATION sunny flower garden and especially a garden of aromatic herbs, Louis wormwood ‘Valerie Finnis’ forms dense, stably decorative clumps when placed on poor, well-drained soils.
3. CHARMING CLOVE GRASS has its own secrets - to preserve the decorative appearance of the bush, you should avoid waterlogging and prolonged drought, and also update (by dividing, cuttings) every 3-4 years.
4. Euphorbia myrtolia not very attractive in early spring, but after trimming the elongated shoots it forms a lovely cloud of lemon blossoms.

10. ONE OF THE MOST An attractive variety of Brunnera macrofolia ‘Jack Frost’ has silvery foliage with green edges and veining. Veins are lighter steel leaves‘Looking Glass’ varieties are almost invisible. Both varieties are beautiful in a shady flower garden and are decorative all season long.
11. SAGE officinalis ‘Berggarten’ It has grayish foliage, against which the purple flowers that decorate the plant in the first half of summer are especially impressive. IN middle lane Russia is grown as a letnik or plant crop.
GRAY SHADES OF THE GARDEN
We are all accustomed to a riot of colors in the garden. But sometimes our gaze gets tired and we want to take a little break from all this diversity. Today I would like to talk about plants with silver foliage, which mainly act as background plants, but at the same time can add sophistication and nobility to the garden, restraining the flashy beauty of brighter shades. After all, silver, as it happened historically, speaks of the good taste of its owner.
We mostly associate silver-leaved plants with the south. Sea, sun, olive groves, mountains, dust and sparse gray vegetation. But in central Russia there are enough such plants.
And now I would like to talk about the short representatives of this group.
Dianthus pinnata and carnation greyish-blue. Prefers sunny places and well-drained soil. Undemanding to care. Very fragrant low plants. Compromised in size garden forms. They bloom for a long time.
Wormwood, silver varieties. I really like these decorative foliage plants. And in particular, Caucasian wormwood. It was brought by me from the mountains of Crimea. It reaches a height of no more than 15 cm. The leaves are pinnately dissected, almost like threads.
Gray fescue. I believe that this plant should be present in every garden. This blue “hedgehog” is very impressive and will be an excellent companion to many plants.
Jaskolka Bieberstein. It, like many ground cover plants, is capable of rapid growth. This must be taken into account when planting. Absolutely unpretentious. It blooms with white flowers resembling stars. Serves as a good background for tulips and other bulbous plants.
Blue sedge Blue Zinger.
Bush about 25 cm high, not very aggressive. Tolerates winter well. Decorative at any time of the year. Loves well-lit areas or partial shade. Perfect for creating a rock garden. For me it looks good covered with white marble chips.
Sedum reflexum, Lydian, Spanish- These are excellent ground covers for alpine slides and a rock garden.
But lungwort will be a good transition from grayish plants to green, since its foliage combines exactly these two colors.
I would like to note that various shades Plants covered with fluff on the leaves also have gray.
According to the laws of color, purple, blue, lilac, and blue are combined with gray. And colors such as yellow, pink, red look advantageous as accents, and not as bright flashy spots.
Well-chosen plants with gray and silver leaves look expensive and elegant.
