24 Basic Perennial Garden PlantinG & Maintenance
Making more than 10,000
perennials and 3000 annuals

and outlining each plant drift
with lime or spray paint, then
placing the pots at their proper
spacing prior to planting.

planting, the garden was
thriving. Lower-maintenance,
long-flowering, sun- and
drought-loving plants were
selected for this exposed,
harsh, sloped site.
