Flowers every year (shrubs & perennials)
Flowers that come back year after year are provided by perennials and flowering shrubs. Perennials and shrubs can be planted Spring to Autumn. In a newly planted border while your shrubs and other plants are still small, use bedding & seasonal plants to fill the gaps around them until they get bigger.; Top tip: Use colour palettes to create wonderful effects. Light soft colours bring tranquillity, especially combined with cool green tones of foliage. Complementary colours like purple and yellow or orange and blue uplift the mood. Combine hot colours such as red, orange and yellow to energise borders.
