With their unusual shapes and brilliant colors, Kniphofias (Red Hot Pokers) are wonderful herbaceous perennials to combine with Campanula (Milky Bellflowers) in beds and borders. They enhance seasonal interest and help create striking summer borders, the golden-orange flower spikes of Kniphofia contrasting beautifully with the large violet-blue clusters of Campanula lactiflora.
All plants are recipients of prestigious awards and are deer and rabbit-resistant. Amass these plants in bold swathes and enjoy!
