Hi Fannie. I believe you are talking about Thrillers, Fillers, and Spillers. The Thrillers are tall plants. They should planted in the back. Next is Fillers. These are the bushy plants and they should be planted in the middle. And, lastly, comes Spillers. These are plants that will ivy over the front. And there you have it, Fannie, Thrillers, Fillers, and Spillers. I hope you find this information useful. I'm wishing you all the best.
