The Bottom Inner Border

The inner borders – both the upper one and this bottom one – have been given their names, because they lie in the middle of the garden surrounded by yew hedges on both sides In this bottom border most of the flowers are white, but in between moonlight yellow and cream coloured ones can also be seen. These colours look exquisite together with white and grey. The latter is found in the foliage on bushes and trees in this border.

A white border is a lovely idea for your garden design -
I have a penchant for white flowers which can be seen in several parts of the garden and also here in the Bottom Inner Border. Here it is not, however, just about the colour white, but to a very large degree also about the stature of the flowers and how they look. Facts that are incredibly important when making a border within a monochromatic colour scheme // have, havedesign ideer, staudebed, perennial border, garden design, flower bed ideas
