pix is a section of the border with perennial Hesperis matronalis (Sweet Dames Rocket). I origonally planted about 50 21/4" pots. Then I let them reseed and this is the result, a mass planting with hundreds of plants..and the fragrance is spectacular!!!
pix 2: is the origonal planting, second year, now you can see how much things have filled in, the above pix is probably year four.

This area has become rather crowed now and will be heavily edited (nice way of saying pulled out and thrown on the compost pile). Most of these plants are not spaced properly due to the reseeding that was allowed, but does give you an idea of what ecrane was talking about (planting closely).

To give you an idea of the size of my 2 borders (pix 1&2 above) it's 45ft wideX100ft long. The hesperis are almost 4ft tall. Good Luck, Kathy.
