New perennial stars
Incorporating the New Perennial style into your garden can be reach largely by using many of the plants that are hallmarks of the design . Here are some options to get you started .
“ The New Perennial style emphasizes the year - beat anatomy and structure of the planting , rather than an teemingness of flowers in summer . Roses and showy summer flowers are not to be notice ; dim-witted , single flowers are planted , instead of frilly double . Rather than having a summer eyeshade like a bungalow garden , a New Perennial garden — with its sturdy grass and mostly late - summer - flowering perennials — is left untouched through decline and winter . This allow the variety of mannequin and structure in old leave , blossom , and seed heads to be enjoy , even when the color has run out out of the industrial plant and the garden is in the grip of crisp weather . ”
