Who doesn’t love the Mediterranean? Just the name evokes a feeling of escape, relaxation and, well, holidays. Yes, it’s the climate, the warm seas, the amazing food. But the plants really play their part too. Whether it’s iconic trees like Olive, Bay and
Fig, the delicately scented shrubs and plants of Lavender, Thyme and Sage or the flowing grasses and airy perennials such as Stipa Tenuissima and Verbena; all help craft an atmosphere for your garden that magically transports you to those warmer climes.
There are a number of key elements that elegantly combine to create your Mediterranean garden.
A relaxed planting style creates a sense of effortlessness in how the plants combine, creating a flowing effect which carries the eye.
Scented shrubs and herbs help fill the air with wonderful scents and aromas on a warm summer's evening.
A calm and simple colour scheme is both pleasing to the eye and the mind.

Our designs are created to ensure your garden has real structure, colour and shape, for immediate impact.
It means you’ll receive plants and flowers of all shapes and sizes - from larger, “hero” items for stature and impact, all the way through to smaller “bedding” plants that help fill spaces and bring colour.
Here’s some more detail on the types of plants you can look forward to with The Mediterranean - delivered right to your door and ready for planting.
A visually interesting, structural shrub such as Olive or Phillyrea forms the design’s centrepiece
Weighty shrubs such as Astelia and Osmanthus add form and substance to the design, ensuring immediate shape
Elegant, tall perennials such as Verbena and Echinops need little space to bring height and impact to the design
Statement plants such as the grass Stipa Tenuissima and the iconic Lavender create flow and movement, with visual stand-out
Ground plants such as Thyme and Omphalodes create carpets of colour that fill gaps and provide beautiful scents too
Climbers such as Sollya and Jasmine help create height, range and coverage against fences and walls
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 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!
We have three different shapes and sizes of the The Mediterranean available with our Instant Beds, designed for both sunny and shady spots within in your garden. Or, you can go Bespoke if you want something little more personalised.
