How do I plant annual beds in the Victorian style?
(A) An Introduction.
This section is devoted to some of the planting plans that Victorian Gardeners used.
As you will see, the style was for layers of colour at different heights in the bed and has for many years been thought of as overly fussy. This type of planting suits formal bed and borders.
I have listed authentic varieties used and if you cannot get hold of them, use modern types of the same plants.
You could vary things by using modern pastel colours, sticking to the species of plants. Have a go! You won't be disappointed.
