Suitable plants for pets

Pet-friendly plants to grow



When we plan our gardens, there is a tendency to make choices based on the plant's color, texture, habits, and flowering season. But it makes sense to add our beloved pets to the equation. After all, although there are some plants that can actually be used or enjoyed by our pets, many of them are still harmful and sometimes dangerous.


If you have cats, dogs, rabbits, or guinea pigs, the freedom of pets to roam, relax and play happily in the garden - or at least the allotted area - is always something to consider when choosing plants.


This is a guide to some of the plants you should grow in your garden (see the list of plants you should not grow for your pets that are dangerous to pets). Whatever you raise, keep in mind that your pets still need to be monitored. If you have any doubts about your Home garden and how your pet is coping with it, do not hesitate to ask the veterinarian.

Growing plants


There are some excellent, garden-worthy plants that have a unique appeal to our pets and provide a place to sleep or play. There are even a few that are seriously beneficial to their health and diet. This is not an exhaustive list, and always keep in mind that individual animals differ greatly in how they respond to different plants. It is also important to remember that what is suitable for one animal is dangerous for another.


Cadmint (Nabetta Cataria)


Benefits for Pets: The essential oils in the leaves make cats feel more relaxed.

Features: Hammocks of beautiful purple flowers and fragrant leaves.

Good: Cats.


Grass



Benefits for Pets: Pets love to chew on it - it helps cats cough and reduces dogs' stomachs.

Features: In addition to its environmental benefits, a real, live, growing lawn provides an excellent green surface and a foil for plants.

Good: Cats and dogs.


Lavender (lavender)


Advantages of pets: Animals like to hide among its fragrant flowers. Cats and rabbits love to crush it.

Features: Beautiful purple, pink or white flowers, and numerous cilia-gray fragrant leaves.

Good: Cats and rabbits, though lavender is toxic to dogs.


Nosteriums (Trophiolam majus)



Benefits to the pet: Rabbits eat both flowers and leaves - growing a lot so your view is not ruined.

Highlights: Bright orange, red, burgundy, or yellow flowers. Good for drawing blackberries from vegetables.

Good: Rabbits.


Ornamental plants (Carax species)


Benefits of Pets: Dogs enjoy sitting on soft muddy mounds.

Features: An amazing structure and texture plant, visually striking.

Good: Dogs.


Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)



Benefits for pets: Cats love the aroma and have a sedative effect similar to catnip.

Features: Tall clusters of white-pink flowers above the fragrant leaves.

Good: Cats.

Garden Plants Lighten Up with These Crisp White and Green Selections

Crisp White and Green Selections That Thrive in the Heat 1. The Rule of Three "Instead of a boxwood or other shrub, you can use containers to anchor a space or garden bed," says landscape designer Carmen Johnston of Bespoke Garden Plans in Thomaston, Georgia. What's the trick to making it work? When choosing your containers, choose three that are the same shape and material — one small, one medium, and one large. She chose 'Cora Cascade Polka Dot' vinca as the base for all the containers. In the second container, she brought in 'White Delight' caladiums and 'Lemon Twist' plectranthus for height. In the largest container, she filled the same plants with 'Kimberly Queen' ferns, 'Peppermint' strap-leaf caladiums, and creeping jennies for warm, summery color. These are low-maintenance choices because, as Johnston says, “they can handle intense heat and full sun.” 2. Garden Type “We don’t need to add flowers to create a beau...
