cottage look and hollyhocks.would like this instead of the grape vine mess in the backyard!
Sweet peas! Soak seeds 24 hours before planting then sow directly in the garden, (fall in mild climates, spring in cold climates) Run your rows north-south for best sun exposure.
one of my favorite and most heartbreaking combinations....fickle plants.....
Spring garden
Astrantia major - Masterwort produces many small, ivory flowers that are flushed pink and bloom continuously throughout the summer and fall, wafting a sweet scent. Care: Masterwort prefers part shade and rich, medium to wet soil. It grows best in soil that is not allowed to dry out and in areas with cooler summer nights.

I like the combination here, the climbing roses with the delicate white flowers below and the yellow flowers across from that.
Love the colors in this garden
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.~Alice Walker / climbing roses.

Lavender, purple, pink toned in this perennial garden, with fence and old building in back ground....stunning, so pretty!
Okay even for the Cotswolds this is ridiculously beautiful. Did you notice there are shutters missing and a windowpane or two, yet the garden is flourishing with attention?

In between these very tall walls, containers add not just interest, but the varied plants add texture and beautiful, cooling variable green color. Although the stone path and beautiful walls are lovely, the walkway is greatly enhanced by these additions. The taller evergreens and occasional vine climbing up the wall lower the wall visually.

Relaxed plantings are typical of a cottage garden design. Pink and red flowers line a stone walkway surrounded by pebbles and a black picket fence in this garden for a classic cottage design.

english cottage garden borders - This is what I'm trying to achieve. I only wish they had identified all the flowers.
alliums, with heads about the size of tennis balls, come in a vibrant deep purple, (Allium hollandicum ‘Purple Sensation’), or a softer mauvy shade, (Allium hollandicum aflatunense). both are spectacular in bud, full flower, in the seedhead stage, and long lasting in the vase too. what is more they seem to naturalise and bulk up well.

.I like that this flower garden seems to have no rhyme or reason regarding the flowers used. It looks very natural, and that appeals to me.
