I have a very narrow bed along the wall of our church that I take care of. I have pictures from last
spring below.
I usually put annuals in for summer color, but I don't really love it. Around the corner in a wider bed I have perennials mostly and reseeding annuals. The whole thing is now edged in a low black edger fence to keep birds from making a mess. I have a black trellis with purple morning glories that
seed themselves like crazy in the other section, along with daylilies, bearded purple iris, coreopsis, purple salvia, dwarf iris, red and yellow lilies, gaillardia, Cal. poppies and nasturtium, also johnny jump ups.
I would like to figure out a way to continue that purple, red, gold theme in the narrow strip with perennials. They cannot flop onto the sidewalk for safety. I want to add another black trellis in there if possible. My ideas are more morning glories, mini daylilies, coreopsis and poppies. How do I make it work in the normal sort of perennial border way being it is so long and narrow? How do I group them and arrange them?
