Herbaceous Border
An herbaceous border is a garden design feature that consists of a row or area filled with herbaceous plants, which are non-woody perennials and annuals. These plants typically have soft stems and die back to the ground in winter, making them distinct from shrubs and trees. Herbaceous borders are often used to create colorful displays and can include a variety of flowers, foliage, and textures.
These borders can be designed in various styles, from formal to informal, and are commonly found in both public and private gardens. They provide visual interest throughout the growing season and can attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Herbaceous borders are also beneficial for biodiversity and can enhance the overall beauty of a landscape.
