Paeonia obovata var alba - 2019

That's a lovely one.

I have noticed that you grow different types of flowers in a wide variety. All of them healthy and beautiful. I'm curious to know how you compose the beds with these flowers.

Aleyna - I have been in this house for over 30 years, so I know the garden very well - soil types, sunny and shady parts, sheltered or exposed corners. It is also a fairly large garden and has three different soil types - clay, loam over a clay subsoil, and sandy.

I work on two principles. The first is that all the plants must be placed in the correct conditions for them. So those that like sun and well-drained soil go in the sunny areas on the sandy soil; those that want moisture are planted in the clay areas. Secondly, all the plants must associate well with their neighbours in terms of form and foliage. These two principles need a lot of planning and plant knowledge - the internet helps a lot!

Sometimes, a bed needs completely replanting as, over the years, I have added more and more plants until the effect is muddled. Last year, I replanted a border in the back garden that faces east and has a loamy but moist soil. These blogs tell you about it:

and

This year, it was the front garden that got a makeover. This faces the sun all day:

So to answer your question, lots of reading, lots of planning, and maybe moving a few plants too

Andrew,
I have no words to thank you.
I read the blogs also, checked the books and it is availble on Amazon.
I loved the way you distributed the pots on the bed, anticipating how they would end up.
It facilitated my planning for the distribution of flowers and shrubs.
Thank you again
