Mix and Match Border Garden Plan

If you've always wanted a border that has year-round interest, try out this design. A backyard border along a fence is a common situation, and this one is 40 feet long. However, if you have a small space you'd like to fill, pull out and plant the center section of this garden.

This Mix and Match Border Garden Plan features trees, shrubs, perennials and vines. It includes peonies, ornamental grasses, shasta daisies and a redbud, PLUS 2 recommended alternative plants for every plant in the original plan.

This Mix and Match Border Garden Plan grows best in full sun and cold zones 4 to 8.
