What flowers are just made for borders: a complete list
As you know, the height of the plants that you plan to use as a border should not exceed 40 cm.
In addition, according to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , flowers are supposed to form a compact and dense planting without voids.
Another important point to consider when selecting plants for this role is that they should be easy to care for.
Therefore, the list of colors for creating a border can include the following:
- Periwinkle,
- Hosta,
- Dianthus pinnate,
- Heuchera hybrid,
- Chrysanthemums,
- Aubrieta,
- Blue carnation.
We also recommend taking a closer look at Arabis alpina, and it is better to choose a mixture of colors - a plant with silvery-white foliage does not grow higher than 20 cm and with its white and pink double flowers it looks very impressive.
Another option is the double yaskolka, the "Silver Scattering" variety. The plant also has silvery leaves, and its flowers are snow-white.
In addition to the plants listed, deciduous shrubs or cereal grasses are suitable for creating a border - by the way, this option has recently become increasingly popular.
