Coneflowers, or Echinacea, bring a brilliant burst of color and are perfect plants for attracting pollinators like butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects.
Hydrangeas are a perfect choice for a cottage garden, adding a touch of beauty and charm with their large and lush flower clusters.
When selecting plants for a cottage garden border, look for species that offer long blooming periods and can thrive under various conditions.
Ideal border plants should be hardy, provide continuous color and texture, and be proportionate in height. Place taller plants at the back and shorter ones at the front for a layered, inviting effect.
Choose plants that can fill spaces densely, helping suppress weeds and maintain soil moisture while fitting that classic cottage garden’s informal, lush look.
