Perennial Combinations
I'm still planning the layout of my mixed borders. I have a normal small
suburban garden -- grass surrounded by borders on three sides. The rear border will be mostly summer perennials and cottage-type annuals in pink and blue pastel shades. However, the side borders I'd like to be more for autumn with rudbeckia, crocosmia, echinacea, autumn chrysanths, asters and such like. My question is -- is it a good idea to have separate (but adjacent) borders -- one for autumn and one for summer, in totally different contrasting colours? Or is it better to incorporate the autumn plants in with everything else? The summer pastel flowers will probably still be in bloom when the autumn fiery shades come out, and I'm worried that everything will clash and look awful. The garden is not very large so all the borders are seen together. Thanks. |
