I have a whole load of lavender ordered to go in my front garden. The flower bed is about 50-60 feet long, along the edge of the driveway (lawn on the otherside).
I have planned a lavender hedge, with bark mulching to try and keep things fairly low maintenance. so I can tackle the back . Am going to put in a couple of ceanothus (?sp?) and some sea holly too. Plus alium and anemone blubs. and a dark pink fushia I could not bring myself to dig up as was losing the will to live
So far so clear in my mind. But now am having a lack of experience/knowledge/taste wobble - in essence I have the bigger plan but not how to execute it to look good.
I have 40 hidcots, 6 lilac and 6 pink lavender arriving. Plan was from end to end to go
Ceanothus
3 x lilac lavendar
10 hicots
3 x pink lavender
10 hidcots
Sea Holly
10 hidcots
3 x pink
10 x hidcot
3 x lilac
Ceanothus (would cover the dodgy border edge at either end. Will prune hard and low each year)
This plan suits my ordered mind. But does gardening work like this? Would this work?? Or should I just mess the coloured lavender all up higgeldy piggeldy?
And suggestions gratefully received please.
(Only thing ordered so far is the lavender - and I have 300feet of garden in the back to do so am sure I can use them there if I have totally fucked up and this whole thing will look awful)
