The Jungle is full to the brim with bold, dramatic plants that will turn your garden into a lush, verdant refuge, far from the madding crowd. A theme where foliage of all shapes and sizes creates a rich backdrop for surprising pops of vibrant colour - perfect for a shady garden, basement or terrace but happy in sun too.

Luxurious canopies are formed by majestic tree ferns and palms, with shape and height provided by Euphorbia, Mahonia and Bamboo. The bold colours of Phormium, Crocosima and Salvia bring vibrancy, all underpinned by a forest-floor carpet of Asplenium, Heuchera and Hosta. Welcome to the Jungle.

Abundant

Despite the drama, this theme is relaxed and plentiful in its design.

What plants to expect in your Jungle Garden

We've worked hard to create plant combinations that not only create that lush, Jungle feel, but also flex to your space (e.g. its size & position) and needs (e.g. pet-friendly).

This means that the plant choices may vary from order to order, to ensure the best results for you.

The Designs

Each design in this theme has been carefully curated to give you the perfect balance of statement plants, varying heights and flowering throughout the year, in both shade and sun.

Please note that we create your design based on a wide range of plants to ensure they best suit your space, aspect and flower bed(s) size - the plants mentioned on this page are representative of the theme but there can be variations!

The Inspiration

Borde Hill Garden, West Sussex

The subtropical-style Round Dell at Borde Hill is lush with large-leaved plants, shape and texture. Hardy bananas luxuriate alongside giant rhubarb, and dense thickets of bamboo add to the exotic feel.

Trewidden Garden, Cornwall

A maze of meandering paths wind through this tranquil 15-acre garden to showcase exotic and rare plants that thrive in the mild climate. Striking and artistic in equal measure.

Singapore Botanic Gardens

This UNESCO World Heritage Site demonstrates the evolution of a tropical botanic garden from a ‘Pleasure Garden’ in the English Landscape Style, to a modern and world-class botanic garden, scientific institution and place of conservation.
