The Flame Border

As has been obvious so far, I use many slightly muted, romantic shades in the garden. And at the beginning of my gardening life these were the ones that I focused on. After some years I began to ‘hunger’ for the warmer tones, especially orange, but also red.

Luckily, I had a piece of unused ground behind the house. In this place I decided to establish a border that was quite simply named The Flame Border. Here you can experience orange perennials and annuals as well as red and purple ones. The last ones mentioned are, however, primarily seen in smaller shrubs and trees, such as Japanese maples and Purple Hazel.
