| Small lots, big houses—whatever the reason, outdoor space is often at a premium in the typical urban plot. Our appetite for smaller garden plants is not slowing down, but lucky for us, our friends in the nursery trade have responded by introducing a bevy of compact and slow-growing plants.
Here, we've singled out selections that include dwarf varieties of familiar and favorite standbys, those valued for their small footprint and slim profile, or, as in the case of the dwarf conifers, for their slow growth and ability to live comfortably in a
constrained spot, or even a container, for a long while.
Follow the link and make sure you scroll through to the end, where you'll find a selection of planting combinations perfectly suited for a pocket-sized garden. All of the plants included in the featured combos are dwarf selections, naturally compact, and/or slow growing.
