Create your own perennial
borders. These borders are the result of decades of experience with
perennials; they provide maximum satisfaction at money-saving prices.
You can use these borders
straight or you may want to curve the lines. You can also adapt an
"L" shape. In planting, be sure to allow greater space
between different varieties than between plants of the same variety.
Fool-Proof Perennial
Borders -- These borders are designed for either sun, partial
shade or shade. These borders are comprised of plants that are as
foolproof as can be -- ideal for beginning gardeners. Borders
specified for "sun" will tolerate up to 2 hours of
shade. "Partial shade" borders perform best with at
least two hours of shade, and at least 4 hours of sun. "Shade"
borders prefer a couple of hours of sun, or light, dappled shade all
day. By placing the plants further apart, the 16' x 2' border can be used to
fill an area as large as 20' x 21/2'.
