What Houzz contributors are saying:
Allium, ladies mantle and astilbe are just a few of the perennials that create the undulating lines within the borders of the flower garden. We'll get over there in a moment.

How to use it. For such a large plant, allium's tall flower stems create the majority of its volume. The architectural stems lead the eye up into the vertical plane while occupying a smaller footprint, making it great for small gardens or other narrow planting areas — borders, containers or planters. Plant alliums in a single species mass or intermixed with others. Shown here, in the gardens of Edith Wharton's estate, lower growing plants surround the alliums and will conceal their dying foliage once they have finished blooming for the season.
There are several benefits to integrating these planting ideas into contemporary garden design.Using a higher ratio of planting to hardscape encourages a wider variety of wildlife into the garden, helps prevent water runoff and flooding, achieves year-round flower and foliage interest (in the same way that the countryside changes with the season), and lowers maintenance requirements — the need for weed control is almost nonexistent in nature.
