Top 5 plants for a miniature garden

1. Ajuga reptans ‘Dixie Chip’/ bugleweed

So the first in the list is Ajuga or Dixie Chip. This is a dwarf variety and is well suited for small spaces, beds, border fronts, foundations and containers, rock gardens and path edgings. This can be well accommodated with other plant varieties and serves as a fabulous addition to shade gardens.

2.Variegated Boxleaf Euonymus/ Euonymus japonicus ‘Microphyllus Variegatus’

3.Miniature Ivy

The name says it all. Its tiny plant body is embellished with a bronze texture, oak-like leaves, and elongated wiry stems. Their growth is flexible, and hence they can be grown on a trellis as well.

5.Muehlenbeckia axillaris (Creeping)
