Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Fall Borders
A border of Asters is an unforgettable spectacle in the fall. Combine them with glowing Chinese Lanterns (Physalis franchetii) and Butterfly Bushes (Buddleja davidii) and you will enjoy a delightful color show which will enlighten your garden for weeks, from late until frost.
Low maintenance and fairly easy to replicate, this planting will attract butterflies and hummingbirds and make your neighbors envious. Enjoy!
