Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Spring Borders, Summer Borders
Adding a hot punch of color to the late spring garden, bold magenta Gladiolus communis ssp byzantinus (Byzantine Gladiolus) and purple Allium ‘Firmament’ (Ornamental Onion) hover around the exceptionally graceful Mexican Feather Grass (Nassella tenuissima or Stipa Tenuissima) and the luminous Eryngium bourgatii ‘Picos Blue’ (Mediterranean Sea Holly). Adding grace and cheerful color to the landscape, this plant combination will put a smile on your face for many weeks!
Easy to replicate and relatively low maintenance. Most plants are deer, rabbit, and drought tolerant.
