Plants in Navium Marine: Blue Mind Garden

“Adds a light, graceful structure with its slender stems and bright, long-lasting magenta flowers, bringing height and elegance without overpowering the space.”

A tall pink with small, single, magenta flowers above narrow, grassy green foliage. Hailing from the alpine meadows of central and southeast Europe with pretty pink flowers throughout the summer, it thrives in dry, sunny sites and alkaline soils.

“Valued for its soft, silvery foliage, which creates a soothing tactile contrast and enhances the visual texture of the garden.”

A mat-forming herbaceous perennial with soft, grey-green, slightly hairy foliage which is larger than other varieties. Upright stems of small pink to purple flowers appear from June through to September. 

“With its aromatic evergreen leaves and subtle blooms, thyme serves as both an effective ground cover and as a sensory treat, appealing to visitors’ sense of smell.”

An aromatic, low growing herb, which is ideal for edging paths or filling pots on a sunny patio. The small flowers, which appear in late spring and early summer, come in a range of shades including pink, purple and white and are very attractive to bees.

“Offers a feathery, silvery-grey texture that softens the planting scheme and complements both vibrant and muted colours.”

Artemisias are prized for their light, almost silver, aromatic foliage rather than for their flowers, which are dull and insignificant. This cultivar has fine, fern-like, aromatic leaves and tiny, yellow-tinged silver flowers in August.

“Known for its drought resistance and clusters of lilac flowers, provides an extended flowering period and a touch of  exotic charm.”

Clusters of large, star-like, lilac flowers, which have a slight scent that becomes more pronounced in the evening, top upright stems from midsummer to early autumn. These appear above dense clumps of attractive, grass-like, greyish green leaves.
