PLANNING A PERENNIAL BED 
The first step is to run through the lists; jot down all kinds that will grow 
on your location. After each name mark height—low, medium or tall. Group 
the names in three lots—late, early and all-season bloomers. 
- Helianthemum Buttercu 
- Alyssum saxatile compa 
Coronilla cappodocica 
58 
Begin with the favorite flower: In 
the sunny border at left, Delphinium: 
Tall, late; space 12 inches. On paper 
marked in foot squares draw three 
square feet (any shape) and write 3 
Delphinium. (This is minimum, fewer 
make no show.) Now the late garden 
is established as blue. A companion 
plant is all-season Aster Frikarti. 
Heighten the early blue with Anchusa. 
Yellow is a fine complementary. Put 
Chrysanthemums and other yellow 
plants in front. For each, the planting 
distan-e is carefully drawn. Change 
with the eraser until you get it to 
suit available space. The shade bor- 
der: Here the favorite plant is Aqui- 
legia (Columbine) and the whole gar- 
den matches them, with the blazing 
Astilbe for early flash. Later, on the 
left is a white, with a rose behind it 
and orange beyond.
