Herbaceous plants (including annuals and biennials)

Most gardeners theme herbaceous plants; regardless of their origins, plants are grouped as 'cottage garden/English border' or 'tropical' according to the gardener's taste. I don't feel it necessary to dictate how you should use these plants in your own garden, so these plants are not themed in any way. If you're looking for inspiration don't forget to look at the bulb gallery-many bulbs are excellent in borders.
