Landscaping with Bulbs: Size
When choosing your plants or bulbs, don't forget to consider the natural height of the flowers once they have grown. Just as with your colours, it is nice to
mix in some
perennials to your flower beds that will complement the bulbs you plant. In general, taller growing
plants such as
phlox,
peonies,
daylilies, asclepias,
lilies, some
allium varieties,
glads,
dinnerplate dahlias and
cannas should be planted towards the back of the
borders. Shorter plants such as
hostas,
Hardy Cyclamen, lilies of the valley,
begonias,
Blue Grape
Hyacinths,
crocus,
Early Snowdrops and
Grecian Windflowers should be planted towards the front.
