Sunny pollinator border

Plotwright

A durable sunny border with summer bloom, seedheads, and upright winter texture.

Use this as a repeatable edge along paths, fences, or a sunny bed perimeter.

Layout notes

Place switchgrass toward the back or as a repeating vertical punctuation.

Mass coneflower and black-eyed Susan in groups rather than single dots.

Use lavender as a lower fragrant edge where drainage is strong.
