Create visual interest by mixing textures and colors. Pair tall perennials with low-growing annuals for a dynamic look.
Consider bloom times to ensure continuous color throughout the seasons. Combine early blooming perennials with mid to late blooming annuals.
Balance the design by alternating clusters of perennials and annuals. Use repetition to create a cohesive and harmonious garden bed.
Incorporate foliage plants to add depth and contrast. Choose plants with different leaf shapes and sizes for a layered effect.
Utilize focal points such as ornamental grasses or shrubs to anchor the garden bed. Create pathways or borders to define the space.
Maintenance is key - regularly deadhead spent blooms, prune as needed, and divide overcrowded perennials to keep the garden looking its best.
