Perfect Plants to Surround Your Hot Tub
November 23rd, 2009
Portable hot tubs turn every back yard into your own personal spa, your oasis from the hectic schedules of the workweek, and allow you time to relax and enjoy life. Where you install your new hot tub is entirely up to you. This is an opportunity to redesign your yard, to plant new trees and gardens, to lay tiles or build up around your spa seating areas. Many people choose to put their hot tubs in gazebos. This is a great option as the hot tub will be protected by the elements, as well as yourself being protected, allowing you to soak in the sun without worrying about sun burn, or to soak in the middle of an afternoon rain shower.
Another option, is to surround your gazebo with vines, using the sides as a trellis with the flowers and the plants winding through, creating harmony, color and your own natural aromatherapy garden, thus enhancing the relaxing effects of the time you spend in your hot tub. One of the most popular choices is the climbing rose bush. The scents of roses as the sky turns to dusk will be wonderful affected by the steam from the spa, and you will feel your tension simply melt away.
But there are so many other options to consider as well. Clematis are a great plant for climbing the sides of gazebos. The leaves are broad and large, and will provide shade on bright days, and the blooms are bright, and have a delicate and subtle fragrance, which some prefer to the stronger scents of the roses. Another great spring and summer blooming climbing vine is the jasmine, and in cooler environments they may bloom all winter long as well, mainly the confederate jasmine. One option is to plant multiple different jasmine plants and you will experience the blossoms all year round. These are just a few of the kinds of plants that work perfectly into the design of your back yard and they will brighten up your yard, and make your nightly soaks so very enjoyable.
