It is not so easy to plant a really interesting border. There are several elements that you need to take into consideration when planning and planting your border, including:

- Types of plants fitting for the conditions of your garden

- Colors, as colors in borders need to match to create an interesting experience

- Height, most likely you want taller plants in the back and smaller plants in front

- Viewing angle

- The time of the year in which your border will flower, including possible winter interests.
