Miniature flowers

[Chris Hammond]

Any gardening gurus using the forums?

I’m looking to find the tiniest flowers it is possible to grow?

Preferably ones that can be grown outdoors in the British climate, but I’m also interested in growing some indoors in terrariums.

No Guru but Alpines will grow outside on very well drained ground and have some pretty small flowers.

Assuming you want individual flowers, if not on mass Lobelia or Alison have hundreds of very small flowers per plant.

Thanks Andy. I’m specifically looking for flowers I can grow in plugs no bigger than a thimble. I was thinking there might be some alpines that fit the bill. I can find fairly small flowers on large plants but I’m hoping to find plants that are tiny with flowers.

That’s excellent mate. I actually know a few of those too.

I’m intrigued as to why you want tiny flowers Chris any particular reason

Mainly to furnish green roofs and miniature hanging baskets on bird boxes. I have some left over sedum from a green roofing job but they look a bit drab and could do with a little colour.

I fancy making some terrariums and maybe a paludarium too.

Thought you might have been making a fairy garden seen loads of them latley

Yeah I’m following a terrarium group on FB and quite a few of the ladies set up fairy grotto type gardens.

Not my thing but I quite fancy making a few small bottle gardens. I’ve got quite a few interesting bottles I’ve found or kept over the years.

Some of the tank scape gardens look amazing like mini Amazon forests you got me thinking now
