[quote=Anonymous]One other thing to note about cottage gardens (we have one). Definitely mix in some evergreens because otherwise your landscape will look very barren in the fall and winter when the plants go dormant. Another tip is too look at bloom times. Most of these pictures were probably taken at peak spring. If you want to have beautiful gardens from spring to fall - mix in early bloomers with late bloomers. Spring blooming: tulips, daffodils, creeping phlox late spring: irises, salvias, catmint, lavender, roses early -mid summer: Dahlias (will last until fall) Gladious Tall Phlox Tickseed sprinkle annual seeds (zinias, cosmos, wildflowers) Late Summer: Coneflowers Black Eyed Susans Sunflowers [/quote]
