Editor's Note

This landscape design uses height and color contrast to build depth within a garden border. Clustering large white hydrangeas provides a bright anchor, while airy blue agapanthus and cheerful yellow black-eyed Susans add vertical and textural variety. Using dark burgundy foliage as a ground-level accent helps ground the more vibrant colors for a cohesive aesthetic.
