Garden Border Edging in Ilkley, West Yorkshire
Our initial border planting for this large garden in Ilkley really has come into its own, lifting the planting plan, providing a vibrant glow of colour to lift the hearts after a barren winter.
More that just providing early season colour, the planting of Sedum rupestre 'Angelina', Alyssum, Persicaria affinis 'Donald Lowndes', and Aubretia 'Purple Cascade', lead the eye and soften the rugged lines of the retaining stone wall. Their varying form, texture and height provide interest as the eye glances along the edge of colour.
We could have used a mixture of bulbs to provide the same colour, but we felt this 'design mantra' was more suitable for what is a modern, low maintenance, naturalistic garden design, 600ft above sea level.
