peonyrosegirl,You are well on your way to the cottage look ,me on the other hand Iam just starting to get the look ,the right combinations ,and my dh finally understanding that I need more varity of different bloom times.I have a 20-25 ft long row of peonies,with phlox growing at the base of them,but thats just early spring color,now its just green!!! I also trim the peonies back a little after they bloom to shape them up,then it looks like a neat and tidy row ,and they arent drooping over covering the phlox the rest of the summer.You are heading in the right direction,keep up the good work!! You can see the row of peonies at the top of the photo,Just trimmed them ,they will look great in 2 wks .
