Turn your narrow sunlit border area into a stunning focal point with a diverse mix of short, medium, and tall perennials like small veronica, Salvia, and Black-Eyed Susan for layers of color and height. Introduce texture with ornamental grasses complemented by a small flowering shrub. Complete the design with the elegance of a small or ornamental tree like a flowering Crabapple or a Northwind Maple.
