Develop that 12'x12' corner into a beautiful space with a carefully curated mix of short, medium, and tall perennials. Start with low-maintenance varieties like Creeping Sedum or Creeping Phlox, advancing to medium-height plants such as Dwarf Black-Eyed Susan and Salvia, then adding height with tall selections like garden Phlox and Coneflower. Complete the design with an upright shrub, like Fineline Buckthorn or pyramidal Juniper for structure and texture.
