Start by selecting a variety of perennials with different blooming times and heights to create visual interest and ensure continuous color throughout the seasons.
Plant taller perennials at the back of the garden bed, medium-height plants in the middle, and low-growing varieties at the front for a balanced look.
Consider the sunlight and water requirements of each plant when layering to ensure they thrive in their designated spots and complement each other's needs.
Add texture and depth by mixing different foliage types such as grasses, broad leaves, and fine textures to create a dynamic and visually appealing garden design.
Incorporate flowering shrubs or ornamental grasses as anchor plants to provide structure and continuity to the perennial garden throughout the year.
Maintain your layered perennial garden by deadheading spent blooms, dividing overcrowded plants, and mulching to retain moisture and suppress weeds for a healthy and vibrant display.
