Flowering through the season

No flowers: IV. In these months the border relies on foliage and structure.

The top edge is the back of the border. The numbers match the table. The scheme shows the order and groups. Adjust the exact spacing to suit the site.

How to plant the border

  1. Set out the pots by number
    Do not plant anything yet. Set the pots out on the border exactly by the numbers in the planting plan, tall ones at the back (framework), low ones at the front (edge).
  2. Check the spacing
    Step back and look from above. There should be gaps between the plants. They will fill them once they have grown together. The recommended spacing is given for each plant (spacing in cm).
  3. Photograph the layout
    Before you start planting, photograph the border from above. If something does not fit, now is the time to move it, not after planting.
  4. Plant in groups
    Start with the framework (the tallest, at the back), then the filler, and finally the edge. Plant to the depth of the pot, firm in and water at the roots.
  5. Water and mulch
    After planting, water generously (~10 l/m²) and mulch the surface between the plants 5–7 cm deep. This holds moisture and suppresses weeds.
  6. Note the planting date
    Make a note of the planting day. We will use it to prepare a care plan for the first, most sensitive season.
