I may have sent off for a few too many of the free bulb offers, and now have 6 types of alliums, plus snowdrops, hyacinth, ixia, crocus, muscari, anemone de caen, daffs and tulips.
I've posted other threads with garden plans, so sorry to repeat myself if you've read the other ones. And I can post some pictures if needs be! But does anyone have any lovely ideas of where I can plant?
I have found a spot for the Allium Purple Sensation and Mount Everest, and another spot for some Allium Moly (but I have a lot more of those to spread around). I also thought I'd plant the tulips and daffs around the base of a few trees I have going up the front path. There are a few snowdrops already planted near front door, so I think I will just add the other snowdrops to those.
Now, I have a section of bedding towards the bottom of the front garden where I have planted my rose plants, and they're doing quite well considering I'd left them sat in their pots for far too long. There are four of them, and I've planted them in four separate small beds of their own, with a space in the middle. This middle bit is where I wanted to plant other things, but I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with googling heights of alliums and what to plant with what, so I need some help.
I'd like it to be the kind of bed that has tall in the middle, with shorter towards the edge, but surrounding the tall all around IYSWIM? Almost like a circle bed rather than one that goes from back to front in height. If this is a terrible idea, tell me now!
Any other ideas for the plants would be nice to hear too. I can list the Allium types if you'd like!
