Here's a simple guide to help you achieve a cohesive look and fill in those pesky light gaps.
+One of the main causes of light gaps in mixed flower borders is the fact that many flowers and perennials have different growth habits and bloom times. To avoid this problem it's essential to choose a variety of plants that bloom at different times of the year, so that there's always something in flower whenever you visit your garden. Consider combining plants that bloom in early spring, such as tulips, with those that flower in mid-summer like sunflowers, and  [[https://kemerovo-news.net/other/2025/06/30/179351.html|https://kemerovo-news.net/other/2025/06/30/179351.html]] those that bloom in the autumn like aster.
+Another way to fill in light gaps is to incorporate plants that have a more sprawling habit, such as creeping thyme. These plants can be used to fill in gaps between other plants, and they often produce flowers or foliage in shades that complement the surrounding flowers.
+Perennials with long stems, such as delphiniums, can be used to add height to a mixed flower border, and they often produce large flowers that cover up any gaps in the planting. If you're looking for something a bit more unusual, consider using perennial grasses, which can add swaying action to a border.
+Annuals can also be used to fill in gaps in a mixed flower border, especially during the summer months when perennials may be in a hibernating period. Choose annuals that have a similar growing habit to the other plants in the border, and choose flowers that complement the colors of the perennials.
+Finally, don't forget to consider the  silhouette and texture of the plants in your border when choosing new additions. A good rule of thumb is to mix different shapes and textures together to create eye-catching interest, but avoid mixing too many different shapes together, as this can create a chaotic look. Try to balance bold, upright plants with smaller, spreading plants, and avoid placing too many plants with similar textures together.
+By following these tips, you can create a beautiful and unified mixed flower border that's full of hue and interest, and that looks great all year round. Remember to choose plants that complement each other, both in terms of bloom time and visual appearance, and don't be afraid to venture and try new combinations to see what works best in your garden.
