Hey girl,
I'd start by breaking down the problem into steps.
First, make a few lists. First being a list of what blooms when - early spring, late spring, all spring, etc.
Then listed by heights, etc. Then by whatever else is important to you - color, texture, etc.
Once you compare those lists, things should become more clear as to waht you should put where.
That's what I try to do when I make a new garden area. Of course, I don't DO that, but I PLAN on doing...that.......
Hope this helps!

Hi Barb,
It helps a lot. I get overwhelmed and then can't figure anything out. Thank you for the advise.

I would like to interplant different flowers so that the slope looks like it is in bloom from early spring to late fall but I'm not understanding what I am reading well enough to know what to do. Can someone take me by the hand and tell me what to do?
