My Cyprus Garden PicturesOur garden is only two years old and these Cyprus garden pictures show that EVERY Cyprus plant in the garden is 5-6 times bigger than when they were planted!
Cyprus Garden Shrubs
Oleander bushes can grow to the size of small trees and this Cyprus shrub is most often seen
at the side of roads giving vbrant colour against the backdrop of the scorched Cyprus landscape
in summer.
I have a huge pruning job to do in the autumn and will have to be careful not to get the sap on my skin as it is poisonous in high doses!
My favourite purple bush giving all year round colour, these plants, like oleander, need little water once established. I've even managed to take a cutting that has worked after several unsuccessful attempts!
Smaller Cyprus shrubs
Lavender adds a gorgeous aroma as well as being a colorful addition to your Cyprus garden.
I had to cut these back brutally after the first year and look how big they have grown already!
And the rosemary. Well it is my favourite herb, great for marinades and stews but even I can't use this much rosemary from my Cyprus garden. Maybe there's an opportunity here for a small dried herb business?
More Cyprus Garden Pictures
Canna lillies add a vibrant splash of colour to any garden. Unfortunately only my red ones seem
to have done well this spring, or maybe the yellow ones took offence to my harsh pruning last October!
Watch this space to see if they flower!
This one is only 6 months old - a cutting taken from an even bigger plant!
My Cyprus herb garden
So far I've discovered that most herbs and vegetables do not like intense full sun so find a shady spot for half the day during summer. Herbs like basil, thyme and oregano thrive much better in partial shade throughout the day in the summer months.

This year I've even put my tomatoes in pots in the shade and they seem to be doing well.
