Get inspired by this mid to late season garden where the showy scarlet flowers and dark foliage of 'Hibiscus Midnight Marvel' (Rose Mallow) are beautifully combined with the architectural Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' (Feather Reed Grass), the dramatic Canna 'Phasion' (Canna Lily) and the rich lilac flowers of Verbena bonariensis (Tall Verbena).
An excellent garden idea for the sunny landscape. Easy to grow, most plants are drought tolerant, attract butterflies and hummingbirds, are deer and rabbit resistant and recipients of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. Enjoy!
