Low growing flowers are perfect for adding colour near paths, borders, and rockeries. They create a neat, attractive carpet of blooms without overwhelming other plants.
Why Choose Low Growing Flowers?
They help suppress weeds, reduce soil erosion, and provide habitat for beneficial insects. Plus, they add texture and visual interest at the garden’s edges.
Top Low Growing Flowers to Try

- Alyssum: Tiny, sweet-smelling flowers that attract pollinators.
- Dwarf Marigolds: Compact and bright, great for sunny spots.
- Bellflowers (Campanula): Delicate blooms that form dense mats.
- Sweet William (Dianthus): Low, colourful clusters with a pleasant scent.
Growing Tips
- Plant in well-drained soil with adequate sunlight.
- Water moderately, allowing soil to dry between watering.
- Trim back after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new blooms.
