Perennial Combinations, Plant Combinations, Summer Borders, Fall Borders
Looking for a naturalistic midsummer or fall border that would also be airy, low care, and with a long season of interest? You found it. Interplant the lavender-purple airy bouquets of Tall Verbena (Verbena bonariensis) with the tall and distinguished blooms of Japanese Burnet (Sanguisorba tenuifolia) and the silky pink flowers of Japanese Anemone (Anemone x hybrida). Let their blossoms wave a lovely tapestry that will gracefully sway in the breeze from mid-summer to fall.
Easy to replicate, deer and rabbit resistant. Enjoy!
