Gardening trends focus on French-style elegance and seasonal planting

Gardening trends are shifting toward French-style elegance, characterized by romantic atmospheres, pastel colors, and well-defined shapes. Key plants for recreating this aesthetic include lavender, which is central to the Provence-inspired look, as well as roses, peonies, and hydrangeas.

For year-round decoration, hanging baskets can be used to maintain greenery on balconies or terraces. Summer baskets benefit from flowering species like petunias, lobelia, and African daisies, which should be planted starting in late April. Winter baskets require frost-resistant plants such as ivy, pansies, cyclamen, and crocuses, typically prepared between September and November.

Perennial plants offer a more permanent solution for those seeking low-maintenance, long-lasting displays.
