Editor's Note

This cottage garden masterfully uses 'Snow-in-Summer' as ground cover, draping silvery foliage over stone retaining walls for a soft, romantic look. Pair these cool-toned perennials with vertical elements like tall grasses or a burgundy tree to add structural depth. This tiered layout maximizes visual impact in sloped spaces while maintaining a lush, cohesive silvery palette.
