Which Echinacea is that @pitter-patter It's stunning, much nicer than my bog standard ones? Is it fully hardy, as I know from experience that a lot of the newer hybrids only last a few years?
Not a problem at all @London_to_Latimer I just juse an ordinary electric lawnmower. I use edging shears to neaten it up, no nail scissor involved @Loxley I've never liked straight edges in gardens. I like the borders to be semi-controlled chaos but I love a nice lawn.
Those perfect circles of lawn are a great foil to the planting, they're doing a similar job to a piece of topiary. I love it (although I don't think I would have the patience for it).
That's exactly it, I couldn't quite put my finger on it
I'm glad I'm not the only one that plants things too close together! It's a riot fighting for space in my flower bed! The pictures on this thread are amazing and too many to start a wish list!
