Perennial Combinations, Plant Combinations, Summer Borders
Looking for an arresting border idea for your garden that would also be low care and deer resistant? You found it. Interplant the intriguing spires of lavender-purple airy bouquets of Orchid Primrose (Primula vialii) with the fluffy bottlebrush flowers of Japanese Burnet (Sanguisorba obtusa) and the eye-catching, violet-blue bouquets of Clustered Bellflower (Campanula glomerata). Let their blossoms wave a lovely tapestry that will gracefully sway in the breeze in mid-summer. Enjoy!
