Secrets of the Highline Revealed!
The secret? Oudolf employs the strategy of a layered matrix planting.This is where a single species—or handful of species in this case—dominates the planting, forming a matrix into which other plants are blended. The strength of this strategy is that the base material provides year-round interest and acts like a filler,while the perennials provide structure and seasonal accent.The grasses add the loose,natural look,while the perennials create the tension that gives the project its artistic edge
