Stunningly Stylish Thorny Plants for Your Yard
Some plants with thorns can be annoying, but depending on the plants, they can also look sharp in a yard – pun intended. A lot of these plants are good for making fences to keep people out and give privacy to your yard. Affordable landscaping service professionals suggest thorny plants for budget-friendly landscapes. Although shrubs are the most common, many trees, vines, and succulents have thorns. Some plants have berries that animals like and they change their appearance with the seasons to make the area more attractive. Here are some plants with sharp points that are beneficial for your yard.
Blushing Knockout Rose
The Blushing Knockout produces pretty, pink flowers with a pleasant smell. No empty trips are needed. Even though this prickly plant is small, it’s recommended to trim it to make it grow better every other year in late winter. To make healthy new branches, remove one-third of the oldest branches.
Nelly Stevens Holly
This bush with spiky leaves grows well in places with lots of sunlight and cooler weather. In warmer areas towards the south, it does better in spots with some shade. All it needs is soil that drains well and sometimes it needs to be fed with a special fertilizer for plants that like acidic soil.
Adam’s Needle
This plant is a type of slow-growing, leafy plant that keeps its leaves all year long. It has a pointy needle at the end of each leaf, and the edges of the leaf have little curled threads. It also has a pretty bunch of flowers.
Red Flower Carpet Rose
The carpet rose is a unique type of rose plant that grows low to the ground, like a cover. Unlike other roses that grow as bushes, this one spreads out and covers the area it grows in. The red flower carpet rose is strong against diseases and produces groups of nice-smelling, single, red roses.
