The size and the color make it
The most important things when planning a perennial bed are the flower colors and the height of the plants. Perennial beds are often designed with motley colors, but color accentuation is also possible, for example by planting mainly white and blue flowering perennials. In this article you will find perennials of different heights. Here we will give you concrete perennial beds for replanting, which are based on the size and flower color of the perennials.

Another important factor in the perennial bed is the location. If your perennial bed gets little or no sun, scroll down to the sub-item "Perennial bed in the shade". Otherwise, read our planting ideas for sunny perennial beds:
The brightly shining shrub bed
If you like bright, bright colors, you should let orange, yellow and red dominate your perennial bed. For example like this:
- in the middle as the dominant perennials: perennial sunflowers (yellow) and red-blooming hollyhocks
- therefore adorn: sun bride and sun eye and as a round red circle around the yellow beauties red-flowering Indian nettles
- In the penultimate zone, mix red with yellow or orange-flowered yarrow
- The yellow-flowering runners-forming Waldsteinia forms the conclusion, interrupted by spots of red-orange-flowering sun rose
The noble perennial bed in white and purple
If you don't like it so colorful, you can combine pure white flowering perennials with delicate pink or purple flower beauties and thus get a noble-looking perennial bed. Here is an example planting plan:
- 1. Zone in the middle: white flowering palm lilies, silver candles and pink or purple flowering delphinium
- 2nd zone: white monkshood mixed with pink or white flowering peonies. Plant white-flowering beard thread in a circle around this area, which thanks to its long flowering time ensures longer flowering pleasure.
- 3rd zone: White and purple lavender or sage ensures a delight of colors in summer and a wonderful scent
- 4th zone: Strong violet flowering thyme is combined with evergreen, white flowering star moss.
The perennial bed for the shade
Many perennials do best in the sun. But also for perennial beds in the shade can be made to bloom with the following perennials:
- 1. Middle zone: The delicately white flowering silver candles can cope with little sun
- 2. Zone: Blue-flowering mountain iron hat is combined with white-flowering forest goat's beard. If you want to add a little more color, you can plant bright purple splendid sparrows 'purple lance' in between.
- 3. Zone Knotty cranesbill, the globe flower and the common cowslip add color to the perennial bed.
- 4th zone, the edge zone: Woodruff has a scented fragrance and flowers pale white in late spring. Combine it with blue and white flowering evergreen, which poses with its delicate flowers well into autumn.
The design of the perennial bed
Not only the plants are decisive for the design of the perennial bed. The border of the bed, decorative elements and accompanying plants such as wood and grass also give the perennial bed its touch. You will find suggestions for design in this article.
