Perennial Border Planting

Perennial border planting involves designing and planting a garden bed composed primarily of perennial plants, which return year after year, to create a long-lasting and vibrant display of color, texture, and form. This technique is commonly used along the edges of lawns, walkways, or fences to define spaces and add visual interest. The planting process includes selecting a variety of perennials that bloom at different times throughout the growing season, arranging them in layers based on height and growth habits, and preparing the soil with compost or other organic matter. Proper perennial border planting ensures that the garden remains attractive and low-maintenance, with continuous color and interest from spring through fall. This technique is ideal for creating sustainable, low-maintenance gardens that provide year-round beauty.
