The garden space I finally dedicated to just miniature plants is a cut out built into the patio, on the north (back) side of my house. It's approximately three feet wide and five feet long. Since it is on the north side, I can only grow shade-loving miniatures, but that's okay, and better than no miniature garden at all.
In the picture above the hosta that is blooming is 'Baby Bunting'. The relatively tall scapes of pink flowers on the left are from three Heuchera 'Petite Pearl Fairy' plants, currently the giants of this garden.
Below is a close up of Thalictrum kinsianum, Kyusbu Meadow Rue, which is also on the left in the picture above.

In the center, there's a fairy door and a little sun dial.
I hope the garden fairies like this garden, because I like to think it is as much for them as it is for me.

Your mini's look so cute. How samll does a plant have to be to be a mini?
Robin... Actually, most impatiens would be too big, except maybe those little firefly impatiens. And I'm skipping the lily of the valley because they would spread too much, though the garden fairies might like them.
Ruth... Thanks for the nice comment!
Colleen...I highly recommend a garden for miniature plants. And did I mention how easy it is to weed such a small space?
Eleanor... the garden fairies will have to go to another garden nearby to get to the lily of the valleys.
Jean...Thanks for the nice comment. This is the only meadow rue I have growing, so I don't have a lot of experience with them.
Ki... the meadow rue in the miniature garden is a little mound of leaves no taller than three inches, and the flowers add another inch so the whole plant is only four inches tall, if that.
Kylee... I'd love to see your little fairy garden on your blog!
Thanks all for the comments!
Yolanda Elizabet... I look forward to seeing your miniature garden. I am sure it will give me some good design ideas! Show us soon!! (And where is the post about your hats?)
