Answer

What is a mixed border?

Shrubs, perennials, grasses and bulbs together, for year-round structure and a changing display.

In short

A mixed border combines shrubs, perennials, grasses and bulbs in one planting, so there is structure year round and a changing display through the seasons. It is the backbone of most well-planted gardens, giving depth and interest that a single type of planting cannot. We design borders to layer and last.
