Best Flowers for a fairy garden

Keteriya · February 2, 2021, 6:16am

I always liked Blood red tiger lily’s and Tulips- any color but the deep purples and reds always draw me in. Something about the shape of a tulip, I could always imagine a fairy climbing in and making it their home.

Whether or not they like them though is another story lmao…

and the tiger lily’s supposedly don’t get eaten by deer, but that’s not true unless they are against the house. Every time I’ve put them in a bed out in the middle of the yard, the deer have left clear tracks and eaten my blooms. One day you gots beautiful flowers and the next all the flowers are poofed and you just have the tall green plant part left lmao.

I’m also the worst about wanting the garden to be pretty near year round, so I always shoot for early spring bloomers, summer time bloomers and late fall flowers as well. If you space them half right, they can all go in the same beds.

Thank you it’s a mess right now because I have all the plants inside and I have a ton of seeds starting. I am also headed to the fallout tree now as well.

@Empress_Arianna if you want some reading I got roses books when I started my garden.

Oh I’ll check em out. I have Norse magic and Celtic magic by D.J. Conway. So I will probably like that book for sure.

I don’t think I have seen those here. Only the ones I shared the link to.

They are really beautiful I would love them in back yard flower beds personally.

I’m not sure but I think it is Aquilegia vulgaris. They return every year, sometimes not so much and sometimes the garden is full of them. The colours are white, rose, pink, almost red, purlpe, almost black. Differs from year to year too.
