A flower-filled garden created in the romantic style of an English border need not demand much care, as this lovely design illustrates. The designer carefully selects unfussy bulbs and perennials and a few flowering shrubs, all of which are disease- and insect-resistant and noninvasive, and don't need staking or other maintenance. A balance of spring-, summer-, and fall-blooming plants keeps the border exciting throughout the growing season. Because English gardens are famous for their gorgeous roses, the designer includes several rosebushes, but chooses ones unharmed by bugs and mildew. Hedges form a backdrop for most English flower gardens; the designer plants an informal one here to reduce pruning. A generous mulched path runs between the flowers and the hedge, so it's easy to tend them, while the edging keeps grass from invading and creating a nuisance. Plant this border along any sunny side of your property. Imagine it along the back of the yard, where you can view it from a kitchen window or from a patio or deck, along one side of the front yard, or planted with the hedge bordering the front lawn and providing privacy from the street. Brimming with easy-care flowers from spring through fall, this low-maintenance flower border evokes the spirit of an English garden, but doesn't require a staff to take care of it.
