I'd add thalictrum, verbena bon, and guara....even though guara can be a bit wide at the base. Love grasses and tall perenials as they look majestic in a mixed border.
Great idea!

[@mapndo2337]

I have a serious obsession with and an unwavering love for tall very or mostly vertical perennials...such as Delphinium, Foxglove, Verbascum, Linaria, Eremurus, Agapanthus, Rudbeckia [triloba], Verbena bonariensis, Salvia, Veronica, Hollyhock, etc. They just seem so majestic....over 1 metre is where its at. 😅❤🎉

[@arnorrian1]

If you love tall plants check out Silphium terebinthinaceum and Rudbeckia maxima.

​@arnorrian1 thank you. I will.

[@mapndo2337]

@@arnorrian1 lol I have r. maxima...its a monster. I dont think it reaches its potential as it gets 6 feet to maybe 7 and I know it can get as high as 8 to 9 in some areas....I'm in the desert southwest in tx, usa

I love discovering new plants from your videos! Thank you for not just growing “the usual”!

[@MagicalMukhina]

I love these tall, narrow, airy & see through plants - that move in the breeze. They are so beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed this video - so entertaining and informative. Thank You so much for taking the time to do the video Rosy.

[@MeganJoyHilly]

This is one of the best videos so far.... I struggle to put a planting plan together. Thank you, Rosie.

[@margaretsims4344]

Always something different Rosie. Lovely plant selection!

[@kathrynreeves5876]

Thank you for showing multiple pots of each plant as it gives a good idea of how they would look planted in drifts.

[@junecorry268]

Rosie, she is so knowledgeable through years of experience, we are very lucky.

[@OlenaPrytula]

Thank you, Rosy! It’s beautiful ❤

[@beckycook4569]

Rosy, you make arranging a selection of plants into a border look so easy! Wonderful look for a small area. And I'm so happy to learn about the stipa, I've been wanting to try the giant variety but I know it's too big for my garden. Now I can look for the variety you included here. Houston, TX, US

[@loriturner9816]

I always learn so much from your demos!! Thank you so much for taking the time to post these videos. 🥰 Can you offer some sources for seeds, many of these I have not seen in the big suppliers.

[@yvonnem381]

This is exactly what i need for my small garden. Thank you 😊

[@beckyscheller9358]

Great demo ❤

[@annashiegl]

Some great ideas. I have the linaria Purpurea, it just arrived from somewhere. Some of it comes up pink after self seeding itself.

[@SiSwitzer]

Some lovely plants there Rosy! Will any of these be happy in a coastal garden please? Thanks!

[@rosyhardy18]

Hello yes most of these will do in a coastal garden

[@tcsanfranfan1]

🙌

[@annbaldwin5097]

Will these tall plants need support?

[@rosyhardy18]

They should all be self supporting
