Several beautiful flowering plants suitable for planting on slopes and hillsides are surprisingly effective in preventing landslides.

If you happen to have a slope in your yard, it is difficult to set up a small garden in a hillside or slope environment. Wind and rain will cause serious damage to the surface soil of the slope, and the natural loss of soil and water will be difficult to deal with, but more tolerant plants can be planted.

Most of the slopes are laid with grid-like cement blocks to prevent soil erosion, and some will plant some grass, but it is best to plant trees and flowers with deeper roots. The following plants are worth considering and are very ornamental.

Consider the area and size of the slope before considering planting plants. If the slope is greater than 30%, you need to make some terraced platforms manually before they are used to plant trees. Using retaining walls will be effective in a short time, but the long-term effect will gradually diminish.

Which scheme do you prefer? Take a look at the following 9 kinds of ornamental flowers suitable for arrangement on the slope.

Rosemary is also upright and creeping. Upright rosemary is suitable for growing on slopes. They like a warm and cool environment, have good drought tolerance, and are suitable for places where there is no frost all the year round.

Rosemary does not need to be taken care of often, as long as the drainage of the soil is better, avoid stagnant water, they can grow well, in addition to not often watering, but also pay attention to proper light, give a little thin fertilizer during the growing period. Rosemary grows very slowly.
