I want to build beautiful borders for the yard. I think I know what I want...but I'd like to hear what you have to say about your favorite collection of flowers and shrubs. I want to do it right the first time. THANKS!

Mine have always been wild irises. I love them so much that I have them tattooed on my ankle!
Elise w. Apr 17, 2009, 3:57pm EDT
pansies and gardenias
I don't think there are any I don't love, but I've never planted any. At our last home, we had irises which I came to like a lot!

Lavender, coneflowers, creeping Thymes, Peonies, clemantis and other flowering vines. It would be easier to tell you what I don't like, lol.

Azeleas, daisies and most of all jasmine but they don't do well as a border.

Gerbera Daisies have always been my favorite.

I'm not really good at gardening but I planted my first rose last week so I would have to say a rose
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Apr 17, 2009, 6:44pm EDT
I love tulips, but the blooming season is so short, they're really not worth all the trouble.

Lilacs, violets and magnolia blooms are among my favorites.

This reply is a little late for your garden, but I just wanted to let you know that my favorite is Lavender.

It's never too late if we are lucky enough to plant next year. Thanks!
