Mixed Border Garden

My largest and favorite garden is my mixed border in the backyard, which we enjoy daily from our deck. The left side is annuals and the right is mostly perennials.

    Lovely garden Eliza, love the variety of colours and shapes, great combinations too of annuals and perennials, and they all look so vibrant and healthy. I like your Salvia Guarnitica for its deep blue and I took notice of your bright yellow gloriousa daisies which I love. Glad you highlighted this post to me, thank you.
