Herbaceous Borders
Herbaceous borders are garden areas filled with non-woody plants, primarily perennials and annuals. These borders are designed to showcase a variety of colorful flowers and foliage, providing visual interest throughout the growing season. They can be found in many gardens, from formal landscapes to cottage gardens, and often serve as a backdrop for other plants or garden features.
Typically, herbaceous borders are planted in layers, with taller plants at the back and shorter ones in the front. This arrangement allows for better visibility and access to sunlight. Common plants found in herbaceous borders include daylilies, coneflowers, and lavender, which contribute to the overall beauty and biodiversity of the garden.
