This border is packed full of movement and structure, and it will give you lashings of late summer colour. It will also attract hordes of bees.

Planting tip: Prepare the bed well by digging in lots of composted organic matter before you plant. For best results it is essential that the plants are kept well watered for the first year, particularly during warmer weather. A newly planted border of herbaceous perennials can look a bit sparse until the plants start to fill out. You can overcome this by adding temporary seasonal bedding to add extra colour and interest during the first couple of seasons.

Designed to fill a sunny bed measuring 3m long x 2m wide.
