Wow. Such a breathtaking plant combination to cheer you up for weeks in late spring – early summer. Easy to replicate, this planting includes 2 award-winning plants: Laburnum × watereri ‘Vossii’ (Golden Chain Tree) and Allium hollandicum ‘Purple Sensation’ (Ornamental Onion). Simple but incredible! In this setting, the garden path is beautifully lit up by a tunnel of golden tresses which are under-planted with a double row of purple alliums. Enjoy!
