Today, I'll share with you several types of green plants suitable for planting in the courtyard of your hometown, making your courtyard more beautiful than ever.

### Osmanthus
Osmanthus is a classic choice for courtyard planting. It has a graceful tree shape, lush branches and leaves, and when it blooms in autumn, it fills the air with a rich fragrance. Osmanthus prefers a sunny and well - ventilated environment. It has relatively strong cold tolerance and is not picky about the soil. Ordinary garden soil can meet its growth needs. Whether it is planted alone in the center of the courtyard or in rows along the wall, osmanthus is highly ornamental.

### Crape Myrtle
Crape myrtle has a long flowering period and rich flower colors, including pink, purple, white, etc., and is known as the "hundred - day red". Crape myrtle has strong adaptability, is drought - tolerant and resistant to barrenness, and has an excellent ability to adapt to the environment. Moreover, it grows slowly and does not require frequent pruning, making it relatively easy to maintain.

### Peony
The peony has large and colorful flowers and is known as the "prime minister among flowers". Its flowers are huge and come in a variety of colors such as red, pink, and white, with extremely high ornamental value. The peony is a perennial herbaceous plant with strong cold tolerance and can overwinter safely in the north. It prefers fertile, loose, and well - drained soil. It sprouts new leaves in spring and blooms in summer, adding a bright splash of color to the courtyard.

### Hydrangea
The flower balls of hydrangeas are huge, and their flower colors can change with the pH of the soil, either blue or pink, which is very dreamy. It prefers a semi - shaded environment and cannot tolerate direct strong light, so it is suitable for planting in a corner with scattered light. It has a relatively high demand for water, and the soil needs to be kept moist.

### Citrus Tree
The citrus tree can be admired for both its flowers and fruits. In spring, the white flowers exude a faint fragrance; in autumn, the branches are挂满了金黄的果实, which symbolizes harvest and good luck. The citrus tree likes a warm and humid climate, and it is very suitable for planting in the courtyard in the south. It can not only beautify the environment but also allow you to taste fresh fruits.

### Bamboo
Bamboo symbolizes purity, loftiness, and tenacity, adding a simple and elegant temperament to the courtyard. It grows rapidly and can form a lush bamboo forest landscape in a short time. Bamboo is not picky about the soil and is resistant to barrenness, but it requires sufficient water. Choosing suitable varieties such as Bambusa multiplex or Bambusa multiplex 'Fernleaf' can make the courtyard more charming.

By choosing these types of green plants, the courtyard of your hometown can have beautiful scenery in all four seasons and become a leisure space loved by family members and neighbors.
