What would you plant to create a 'Cottage Garden'?

[AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet]

I'll probably have to wait until the lockdown is over, so just dreaming of ideas

So the idea is... a mix of colours, informal, no structure, no order? Well, obviously taller perennials at the back?

Any ideas? Is it just a case of packing them all in?

I'm thinking delphiniums (although I read that they only last 2-3 years)?, foxgloves, Lavender, Roses.

My hollyhocks always got heavily infested with rust .
Out pulmonaria is performing really well and for a long period. Some varieties come in pink shades . Your favourite!
