[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the key to this look is growing some things from seed and aggressively dividing perennials so you have lots of small plants rather than big clumps. I’m addicted to watching Gardeners World on BritBox and they go into this a lot as it’s a beloved British style. Other key elements are verticality, mixing in edibles and a lack of tropical flowers. Unfortunately for me cottage gardens are usually full sun and I have a shady yard. [/quote] That show sounds awesome and I’m going to look for it. Tropicals can work in cottage gardens. Hibiscus can be a wonderful addition. Zinnias and salvias are so easy to grow I’m surprised and thankful no one suggested the dreaded daylily. [/quote] I have a 100 daylilies in my yard and I’m going to divide the clumps this fall so there’ll be many more next year. :lol: [/quote]
