If you want a garden that blooms beautifully all year round, you should create a border of perennials. Here are a few design tips.
Tip 1 - Perennial beds planted in one color
A really elegant garden trend created by large nurseries: perennial beds planted in one colour. The harmoniously arranged floral splendor has an effect on itself and attracts admiring glances everywhere. It is the color itself that is in the foreground and allows the individual flowers to merge into a complete unit.
Tip 2 - color selection
You can choose from white, yellow, pink, orange, red and blue flower beds. Always in combination with a refreshing garden green, which is primarily defined by the petals. However, neutral green plants, such as small boxwood borders or the fern in the semi-shade bed, can easily help design a monochrome flower bed.
Tip 3 - Blooming Seasons
A colored flower bed should also be seasonal, so that it blooms continuously from early spring to autumn.
Example:
Explained on the basis of the white flower bed, Christmas roses and snowdrops ensure that the blossom splendor awakens very early. Quickly followed by white crocus, snowflake, white daffodils and tulips. The white periwinkle, an easy-care ground cover, blooms as early as April. Also slowly the white clematis, azaleas, white peonies, a mayflower bush, the columbine, lupins and the pretty viburnum. In summer, white roses, delphiniums, hydrangeas, goat's beard, globe thistles, daisies, etc. grace the white flower bed. And in late summer and well into autumn, lilies, autumn anemones, asters and dahlias slowly close off the white blossom splendor again.
Tip 4 - Flower selection
The selection of flowers is really gigantic in all colors. For the most part, the perennial plants are extremely easy to care for, so that creating a single-color perennial bed can be recommended to every gardener. It is advisable to go to the nearby nursery and find out more about the range of perennial plants under theto take a magnifying glass. Many nurseries even recommend plant arrangements within their range for the monochrome perennial bed. With this, a first selection of flowers can be put together at the same time. Over the years, experience has shown that new plants are added again and again until the monochrome blossoms are really complete.
