How To Design Spring Border Through the seasons This is a spring display, but it can be livened up at other times in various ways. As the spring flowers fade, there is no need to deadhead, but you can tidy away the dying foliage and make sure the plants are happy. Some, especially the auriculas, will develop seed capsules. If you collect some of the seed as it ripens in July, you can grow young plants for future years. As the tulips fade, remove their seed capsules. You can lift the entire bulb and store for next year, or leave in position. Summer bulbs will extend the season. Alliums should have been planted in autumn, but gladioli and galtonias can be planted in April, as can nerines for the autumn display. Then, towards the end of summer, you could put in some autumn-flowering crocuses. For winter interest, try honesty for its silvery seed pods and snowdrops. The foliage of border pinks looks good all year and you have the summer flowers to look forward to. All the shrubs have good year-round value, but you could improve the summer season by including a few tender perennials. Osteospermums, especially purple or pink varieties, would continue the colour theme, or you could add heliotrope for scent and a Solanum rantonnetii for an exotic effect. Plant them at the end of May. Towards the end of the first summer you should be able to divide some of the perennials to replant and bulk up their numbers. If they are still too small, postpone lifting until the next autumn. Eventually a clematis such as 'Etoile Rose' could be grown into the holly for summer delight. In some cases it is better to use thermal blankets for plant transplantation. Annuals such as blue pimpernel, night-scented stock and mignonette will do well among the spring plants. Trouble-shooting Poor soil Do all you can to improve the soil. Avoid walking on it if it is heavy, and when planting you should take trouble to make the planting holes large. Then add generous quantities of potting compost. The holes act as containers for your plants, which spend their first season or two growing in this compost, rather than in the poor soil. Windy Holly is great for windy locations, but it is worth building a netting windbreak around your tree for the first year while it is becoming established. In a strong wind is better to close the zone with acrylic thermal blankets. Instead of planting daphnes, you could consider a small burnet rose, Rosa pimpinellifolia, such as 'Dunwich Rose' and dwarf forsythia such as Forsythia viridissima 'Bronxensis'. Too wet Most of these plants will tolerate damp feet, except the auriculas and the daphnes. If your soil is boggy, you could grow some of the plants in containers. Meanwhile, bank up the bed, add a lot of bulky material and mix it in well.
