Gardening with native perennials is a way to bring nature closer to urban citizens and bring up
reflections on nature in a busy world. During three seasons of trialing Salvia pratensis, Dianthus
deltoides, Campanula trachelium, Vincetoxicum hirundinaria, Saxifraga granulata, Plantago media
and P. maritima were found suitable for cultivation in wholesale-containers and applicable for dry,
sunny conditions in gardens. On the other hand, Narthecium ossifragum, Pulsatilla palustris,
Drosera rotundifolia, Vaccinium oxycoccos, Eriophorum angustifolium and Sphagnum sp. were
cultivated and planted as a realistic plant community with an attractive, low habit and beautiful
colors. Phyteuma spicatum is an attractive, novel species for a shady garden site.
