| Bog/Marsh/Pond area planting placement advice please..
OK.. The wildlife pond is re-done (lower). The 'bog' area is dug 12+ inches deep, lined with overlapped damp proof membrame (cheap bordering on free), filled and watered well..
The area is approx minimum 4mtrs x 1mtr.. including small pond.
Plants are purchased and will be delivered by the garden center Thursday..
THE PLANTS : (All are small 'plugs' grown in cold greenhouse (?) ready for planting)
20 - Purple Loosestrife
10 - Marsh Marigold
6 - Water Mint
10 - Water Forget-me-nots
10 - Brooklime
10 - Ragged Robin (Cuckoo flower)
Advice required is...
How far apart does each flower need to be ??
Do i bunch several of the same together or singular??
What is the estimated height/spread of each flower??
Obviously i'm looking for a blanket of colour and life..
(I'm not worried about too many plants ordered as surplus will get snapped up pretty sharpish)
PICTURE will be up in the morning when it's light..
Many many thanks for any decent advice...
