It is one of the extremely undemanding and easy-care trees and has already turned many a hedge into a piece of jewelry ready for the stage. The bladder spar looks simply fantastic with its appearance. How and with which plants can it be combined?
Which plants go well with the bladder spar?
The bubble spar can be combined well with various plants such as barberry, coneflower, weigela, pampas grass, red-leaved lilac berry, dark red sloth maple and loquat. Pay attention to matching location requirements and suitable growth height or color harmonies in the foliage and flower colors.
What factors should you consider when combining bubble spars?
To emphasize the character of the bubble spar and to achieve advantages from the combination, you should consider the following factors:
- Foliage color: dark red, green or golden green
- Flower color: cream white
- Flowering time: June to July
- Location requirements: sunny to partially shaded, humus-rich and nutrient-rich soil
- Growth height: up to 4 m
Depending on the variety, the bladderwort has dark red, green or even golden-green foliage. You can combine them with trees of the same color or create atmospheric contrasts so that the plants visually stand out from each other.
The magical flower balls of the bubble spar shine even more intensely when you combine the tree with other flowering shrubs that bloom in red or yellow.
Over the years, a bladderwort can grow to a considerable height without pruning. Depending on how high your bubble spar can grow, you should choose the companion plants.
Combine bubble spars in the bed or hedge
Standing in a bed, the bubble spar fits nicely behind a colorful sea of flowers. Any number of perennials can be planted in their foreground. It looks particularly eye-catching if you plant white or yellow flowering coneflowers in front of the bladderwort. In addition, combinations with other shrubs are popular. You can decide whether you want to create contrasts with green-leaved trees or whether you would prefer to create a color harmony with red-leaved trees.
These candidates, among others, go wonderfully with the bladder spar:
- Barberry
- Coneflower
- Weigela
- Pampas grass
- Red-leaved lilacberry
- Dark Red Slotted Maple
- Cotoneaster
Combine bubble spar with barberry
The combination of bladderwort and barberry is ideal for hedge planting. Both plants thrive in sunny to partially shaded locations and like humus-rich soils. For a certain balance, you can also plant the blood barberry next to a dark red bladderwort like the well-known variety 'Diabolo'.
Combine bubble spar with pampas grass
The bubble spars and pampas grass are perfect for the background of a larger herbaceous bed. With this combination, keep the bubble spars at a maximum of 1.50 m and place the pampas grass behind them at a distance of about 2 m. In summer and into autumn, the fluffy flower fronds of the pampas grass will play wonderfully around the bladderwort and give it a certain lightness.
Combine bubble spar with weigela
The green foliage of the weigela goes well with a golden green or dark red bubble spar and creates a beautiful contrast. The two have similar location requirements and get along well together.
Combine bubble spars in the bucket
The bubble spar also looks great in a bucket. It can be combined with ground cover plants that cover their base with delicate flowers. For example, a combination of a dark red bubble spar covered with white foam in the root area looks unique. The lush flower carpet of the foam blossom literally shines through and the bubble spar gets even more attention.
