A sensational symphony of later flowering hardy perennials, giving your borders more than 6 months of colour! To create a herbaceous border remember to vary the heights of what you're planting to achieve that 'tiered effect.' Starting with ground cover plants like Vinca Minor and Geranium Aviemore that are excellent for suppressing weeds whilst keeping the front of the borders looking fresh! For the middle of the border, why not enjoy the delight of Aster divaricatus, Pennisetum 'Little Bunny,' Astrantia bavarica and Imperata 'Red Baron' to help give structure, colour and soft sensory elements.For the backs of the border tall lofty perennials like Verbena bonariensis, Rudbeckia Goldsturm, Japanese Anemone 'pamina' and Salvia 'Cherry Lips' will provide prolific pop of colour from summer through to autumn. They make an important pit stop for pollinators that can be enjoyed year after year as they will fill the space with even more blooms! Fully hardy and hardy perennials.
