Introduction

I love fairy gardens. I have an entire Pinterest board devoted to them, and even made a little one for my own front yard. But like most things in life, it’s not enough to just have the idea. You also have to know how (and where) to put it together. So I’ve put together this list of plants that are commonly used in fairy garden products:

Baby tears

Baby tears (also known as Sedum acre) are a type of creeping sedum that can survive in a wide range of conditions. They’re hardy, low-maintenance, and come in different varieties—including the popular pink variety. Since they grow well in pots, they’re an excellent choice for fairy gardens or other container landscapes.

Their flowers are small and white, with some variegation adding visual interest. Baby tears come in many different sizes and varieties—you’ll find them at a local garden center or online! The best time to plant them is late spring through early fall when temperatures are above 60 degrees Fahrenheit; you can also overwinter baby tears indoors if you live in an area where the temperature drops below freezing during winter months.

Blue star creeper

Blue star creeper is a plant with blue flowers. It’s easy to grow and versatile, so it’s a good choice for beginners and fairy gardeners alike.

Blue star creeper is a perennial groundcover that has small, deep blue flowers with five petals per bloom. The leaves are heart-shaped with serrated edges and vary in size depending on where they’re located (the lower leaves are larger than the top ones). Blue star creeper spreads quickly by sending out rhizomes beneath the soil surface, which can often be found near tree roots or other large obstacles like rocks or buildings.

The plant will do well in nearly any climate as long as there aren’t extreme temperatures swings from day-to-night or winter weather conditions that could cause frost damage before spring arrives again; otherwise you’ll need to protect your Blue Star Creeping Perennial with mulch during those times too!

Creeping snowberry

Creeping snowberry is a perennial plant that produces small, white flowers in spring and summer. Its berries are edible and have a nice tart flavor. It’s also very pretty! If you’re looking for an interesting plant to add to your fairy garden, creeping snowberry might be the perfect choice for you.

This vine-like bush grows up to about 3 feet tall with delicate pointy leaves that turn yellow in fall. In early spring, it has white bell-shaped flowers with five petals each (but no stamen). These flowers typically appear on bare stems before new leaves appear later in spring or summer—making them easy to spot among all the other vegetation in your fairy garden! If left alone it will grow along fences or walls much like ivy does; however if trained properly this plant can be used as ground cover too which makes caring for it even easier because there’s no need for pruning every few years like we would do with many other types of ground cover plants out there today.”

Corsican mint

Corsican mint is a herbaceous perennial that has a well-deserved reputation as an invasive species. This can be problematic if you don’t have much space in your garden, but it also makes it ideal for use in fairy gardens. It can grow up to two feet tall, with bright green leaves and tiny purple flowers that appear in June or July.

It’s not hard to find Corsican mint at most nurseries and garden centers because of its popularity among landscapers and homeowners looking for plants with tall vertical growth habits. Its large size also makes it an effective trellis for vines such as wisteria, so it’s worth checking out whether you’re looking for something similar (or just want another plant on your list).

When planted in your own yard or patio container garden, Corsican mint requires little maintenance beyond watering when needed during dry spells—but keep in mind that this means the soil will eventually dry out completely between watering periods! The best way around this problem is by incorporating plenty of organic material into any beds where you plan on planting corsican mint; composted bark mulch works well since its fine texture helps retain moisture longer than other types of mulches do (like shredded bark).

Once established outdoors after several years’ growing time indoors under ideal conditions such as those found within our Fairy Gardens kits here at TheFairyGardenStore we’ve found no pests or diseases attacking these plants either inside nor outside once established so long as adequate care has been given throughout their lifecycle until now.”

Irish moss

Irish moss is a type of lichen. It’s very low maintenance, which means it’s a great choice for beginners or those who don’t want to fuss too much over their garden. It works well in woodland gardens, as well as fairy gardens.

The plant has tiny leaves and can grow up to 12 inches tall if you let it get really big! You’ll often see it sold in small pots, so it’s easy to bring home and put in place without worrying about whether or not your container will be big enough for the plant once it grows up and spreads out (which happens quickly). The plants have an interesting texture that makes them look like they’re made from paper or cardboard when seen from afar – this effect adds charm to any display piece!

Dwarf mondo grass

Dwarf mondo grass is a common choice for fairy gardens, as it’s very easy to grow and can be used in several ways.

Mondo grass is a type of low-growing ground cover that spreads quickly. It’s frequently used in landscape design because it looks great when planted at the base of trees or shrubs, but its fine leaves also make it an ideal plant for your fairy garden. Many gardeners love dwarf mondo because it requires little care or maintenance once planted—just add water every week or two during the summer months. You can also use dwarf mondo grass to create paths through your fairy garden by cutting pieces off and placing them on top of each other over time until they form an even surface (see image below).

Creeping thyme

Creeping thyme is a compact, low-growing type of thyme with tiny leaves. It spreads by rooting along its stems and grows well in containers or hanging baskets. The variety ‘Green Carpet’ is especially effective as an ornamental ground cover because its dark green color contrasts with the more typical deep green of other varieties.

Creeping thyme can be used in fairy gardens to create walls or fencing around your garden area. Creeping thymes also work well as borders in real life gardens, adding height and texture to flower beds or other garden areas where you want something low growing but still noticeable from a distance.

Sedum acre

Sedum acre is a succulent plant, meaning it stores water in its leaves.

It’s a ground cover that grows in a wide variety of colors—yellow, red, pink and white. In the winter months it will turn brown but come springtime it should return to its original green color.

English thyme

• English thyme is a perennial plant that can be used in gardens, pots, and terrariums. It grows best in sunny locations but will tolerate partial shade as well.
• The leaves of this plant have a strong minty aroma and taste which makes it popular in teas, salads, and other dishes where herbs are used.
• The flowers of this plant are small and white; they usually bloom from early summer through fall (depending on location).

New Zealand thyme

New Zealand Thyme is a hardy perennial that can be used in a variety of ways in a fairy garden. It is commonly used as a ground cover, but it can also be planted as an accent plant. The plant has small lavender colored flowers and tiny leaves that are gray-green on top and whitish underneath. New Zealand thyme is drought resistant, deer resistant and easy to grow which makes it ideal for any fairy gardener. There are two main types of thyme: English thyme (Thymus vulgaris) and French thyme (Thymus vulgaris).

English thyme has narrow leaves while French thyme has broad leaves; however both types have similar growth habits so they do well together in the same area or in different areas if you want something different than just one type of plant such as this one right here that we’re going to show you what’s really cool about it too because there are so many other things besides just this one kind here but don’t worry because if there’s something else they’ll tell us what they’re doing with them later on when we get into some more detail about each individual item here like how much sun does it need? Do I need fertilizer every week? What do these look like when they bloom? How big do these get before I should transplant them somewhere else?”

Here are the most popular plant choices for fairy garden products, and how you can use them in your own gardens.

The most popular plants for fairy gardens are the ones that are easy to grow, and have a low maintenance. They also need to look good in a small space, which is why you’ll see so many people using herbs like chamomile and mint, or succulents like sedum. The last thing is that they’re easy to find and propagate (meaning they multiply quickly).

Here’s a list of some of the most popular plants used in fairy garden products:
