Garden Design Ideas for a New Flower Bed | Purple Perennials & More | Perennial Garden

I'm excited to show you a flower bed transformation the gardening team did this year at the cemetery garden (where Lars works). What was once a forgotten, weed-filled patch of nettles and rough soil is now a beautiful, welcoming space filled with rich soil, neat paths, and gorgeous perennials — many with lovely purple hues.

In this video, we take you through the whole process — from clearing the area to planting — and share ideas for planting combinations that thrive in summer. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for a shady spot or want to add more purple tones to your garden, we hope you’ll find plenty of ideas here.

Here are the plants we highlight:
