Garrigue Garden

All the plants from our Garrigue Garden, summer catalogue 2023/2024. Creating a garrigue garden is like bringing a piece of the Mediterranean to your home. This type of garden, populated with drought-resistant plants against an arid landscape, is perfect for those who appreciate the charm of dryland plants and want a low-maintenance garden.

At the top of the list is Cistus purpureus, the purple rockrose, an essential shrub in a garrigue garden. With its vibrant pink flowers and its ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, it is a reliable choice for a dry garden. The butterfly lavender is another standout plant in Mediterranean gardens with its delicate flowers and powerful fragrance. To add height and structure to a border, consider Salvia nemorosa Caradonna. This robust plant, with its violet flower spikes, is not only charming but also nectar-rich and very water-efficient. Euphorbia characias is an original perennial, with its grey-green foliage and chartreuse inflorescences. This extremely drought-tolerant plant is perfect for creating contrasts in a rock garden. The Russian olive is resistant to both drought and cold. This deciduous tree, with its silvery foliage and edible fruits, brings a very Mediterranean touch to the garden. The common myrtle is a traditional plant in Mediterranean gardens, appreciated for its small white flowers and aromatic evergreen foliage.
