[quote=Anonymous]It's hard to have a perennial border with constant color, but you could do a succession of spring bulbs, summer coneflowers and lilies, and then anemones for fall. Shrub roses also bloom repeatedly, although they certainly have resting periods. I am personally very in favor of gardens in the front yard, but the reason most people use evergreen shrubs instead for the most part is that no perennial border looks fabulous all year round even if well-tended. That can be tough for maintaining a welcoming, tidy front entrance. You could also consider some evergreen shrubs and containers you can fill with annuals for color all summer and then plant with hardier ornamentals for most of the winter (like kale).[/quote]
