A Sunny Border

This, hypothetical, mixed border planting was designed for a south-facing bed with free-draining soil.

The main requirements of the brief were:

  • to obscure the unsightly fence at the back of the border,
  • to use hot, fiery colours,
  • to use architectural plants,
  • planting to look good all year.

A combination of evergreen plants and herbaceous plants with strong winter skeletons results in a border with year-round structure. The border starts flowering in January and continues until October. Foliage, berry and bark contribute to the display.
