How to create a plant cocoon around the pool? Several precautions are mandatory: you need to leave enough space between the pool and plants so that dead leaves and faded flowers do not fall into the water too easily, and plants do not suffer from chlorinated water. Also, we avoid thorny plants, shrubs that spread out a lot, and whose roots can damage your installation, as well as plants that are very bee-attracting in case of bee allergies. Also note that the pool area generally gets good lighting: choose plants that love sun and drought. But the choice is still wide: here are 3 plants for planting around your pool.

Palm Tree

What tree around the pool would better evoke a vacation feeling than a palm? Definitely choose a variety suitable for your climate. Among the most cold-hardy palms, you can highlight, for example, Trachycarpus fortunei (also called linen palm), which likes the soil to stay cool in summer, or Sabal minor, a dwarf palm that is easy to grow but fears strong winds.

Olive Tree

The olive tree is all Mediterranean atmosphere. Its silhouette with a knotty trunk and silvery evergreen foliage makes it an ideal decoration for the surroundings of your pond. Relatively cold-resistant, the olive tree can withstand short periods of cold down to -10°C. It loves sunlight and well-drained soil. It's better to choose a spot sheltered from prevailing cold winds and gusts.

Lavender

What could be more pleasant after swimming than the scent of lavender? Plant lavender plants in groups or strips so they can form small, low aromatic hedges.

In summer it blooms abundantly, but its evergreen foliage is no less beautiful with its silver reflections. Lavender is easy to grow: although in the Mediterranean, it tolerates cold well (the most frost-resistant lavender varieties such as lavandin can withstand temperatures down to -20°C), and it does not require much water (after good rooting, it only needs watering during prolonged droughts). You will only need to do annual pruning.
