What are some good flowers that have shallow roots systems?
By admin | January 13, 2012
I have small backyard I share with my nature-loving daughter. There are old rusty pipes that are too heavy and too deep to remove, so I covered it with a large pile of brush and cane. It is along a fence in a grove of young trees so underneath the pile is a mass of tree roots. I’m planning to put a mound of soil over it about 5 or 6″ deep to hide it. My daughter suggested it would be a nice place for a fairy garden but I wonder, if I plant perennials or flowers that will attract butterflies, will they thrive in such conditions? What plants could I use?
It’s a fairly sunny area and I live in zone 5 in New Brunswick, Canada. So, a very short summer and very cold long winters.

Most any annual has shallow roots, you said young trees, so is it dappled sun & shade or always sunny, half-day sunny? This is the only other element that needs to be taken into consideration. Cosmos is easy from seed with many types of flower shapes & delicate fern-like leaves, cleome is somewhat taller but may also work & is easy to grow from seed. Chamomile can grow under similar conditions, evening primrose grows best where it’s hot & poor quality soil & reseeds itself, 2 types, 1 yellow, 1 light pink. Zinnias & marigolds, allyssum-in white, purple, or pink & honey-scented, lobelia is a dark blue usually, so is heliotrope but the latter is scented. English daisies-the kind found in some lawns are usually treated as annuals here in the U.S. could also be used.
