Open border plan This flower show begins in May and June with the Purple Sage (Salvia), Caucasian Yarrow (Achillea) and Day Lilies (Hemerocallis). But the real fireworks start in the summer when Bergamot (Monardia), Montbretia (Crocosmia) and Spiked Speedwell (Veronica) burst into flower. This picture was taken in early autumn, when the long flowering, orange Sneezeweed (Helenium) are in full bloom and the white Ice Plant (Sedum) is about to flower. The tall, grey-blue foliage of the Plume Poppy (Macleaya) and the sword shape leaves of the Montbretia (Crocosmia) produce wonderful architectural shapes. Planting tips: The Plume Poppy (Macleaya) will grow and spread vigorously. In the spring, pull out any bits that you don't want otherwise they will take over. Common sage grows so fast that it tends to get a bit leggy, and its hard to prune as it doesn't grow new shoots from old wood. So, make sure you pinch the tip off each branch regularly in the spring.This border will fit into a bed 3.5m long by 1.75m wide.
