Perennial Flower Garden Design Part One
It is also important to understand this system will get your garden flowering all summer but how that looks is going to be up to you. Which plants you combine, which plants you put where are important. Not to mention which plants get eaten by a bug this year but not last year. "Little things" like that are out of our control.
There are several steps in this process
The first step on this page is to draw the garden outline as closely to scale as possible.
Then to draw in "drifts" of flowers. These drifts are clumps or groupings of the same plant.
Drifts should not overlap or be placed right "on top" of the other. So when you look at the garden, the design should look like an overlapped brick wall where no two drift rows match up. Drifts are staggered from front to back so when you view the garden, you get a mix-and-match of flower forms and there are no clear edges running the width of the garden.
