If your garden has narrow borders for planting, it might feel as if your options for growing flowers are limited, too.
In fact, it is possible to plant many beautiful blooms that you can enjoy from the comfort of your Outback reclining chairs.
Bearded iris
This is a great choice, as bearded iris occupy very little of the precious planting space you have.
Bearded iris plants can be grown in a variety of shades, too, so you could create a colourful garden for yourself with this alone if you wanted to.
Libertia
Libertia is a flower that blooms purely in white – which could make for a pleasing contrast to the iris flowers.
It will need to be planted in a spot within the borders that catches the sun, and the soil should be drained so that it is moist rather than wet.
Honeysuckle
This flower gives off a beautiful scent when it blooms, which will make it ideal for planting in a border that people walk past often.
If honeysuckle plants are not to your taste, jasmine is another choice that will achieve the same effect.
Erigeron
Erigeron is a plant that thrives in confined spaces, so will be the perfect choice for gardens with narrow borders. It is also one that self-seeds, so if you plant a bulb, it will spread of its own accord when it is in the ground.
You can blend it with a herb like rosemary if you want to see it at its absolute best.
