Bold Color Berm

Before Planting

Garden Design Maine was hired to add bold perennial color to a newly created berm garden.

Vibrant shades of red, orange and deep violet-blue were suggested by the customer, so Garden Design Maine took those color cues and ran with them, selecting plants no taller than three feet in height and presenting two design options for consideration.

Concept #1 included long-blooming choices such as heliopsis, catmint, geranium, salvia and reblooming daylilies to achieve the customer's desired bold look.

Concept #2 used bee balm, daisies, sedum, buddleia, reblooming daylilies and echinacea to accomplish what the customer was after. 

Ultimately this was the selected design that was planted in early August 2024.
