Perennial Combinations, Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Summer Borders, Fall Borders, Winter Borders
Fabulous looking and low care, this attractive late summer combination of ornamental grasses and perennials is a feast for the eye. Extending its soft colors and mixed textures well into fall, it includes the crimson-red spires of Mountain Fleece 'Firetail' and the delicate pale pink blossoms of Japanese Anemone 'Robustissima'. Behind these robust perennials, the spectacular flower plumes of Maiden Grass 'Flamingo' and the fragrant rose purple flowers of Joe-Pye Weed provide an eye-catching and harmonious backdrop that will remain attractive throughout winter.
A perfect planting idea for cottage gardens or prairie plantings. All plants are deer and rabbit resistant. Enjoy!
