Elevate your late summer garden with this visually stunning mix of ornamental grasses and perennials that seamlessly transition into fall. This garden ensemble features the arresting red spires of Mountain Fleece ‘Firetail’ mingling with the subtle, pale-pink flowers of Japanese Anemone ‘Robustissima’. Acting as an alluring backdrop, the feathery flower plumes of Maiden Grass ‘Flamingo’ pair elegantly with the aromatic, rose-purple blooms of Joe-Pye Weed. This foliage and flower spectacle not only enchants the eye but also stands resilient through winter, offering year-round interest.
Ideal for both cottage-style gardens and prairie landscapes, this planting combination is as carefree as it is captivating. Additionally, its deer and rabbit resistance adds to its appeal, making it a worry-free choice for a variety of settings. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just starting out, you’ll find this blend of textures and tones a lasting source of inspiration and beauty. Enjoy the season-long vibrancy and the peace of mind that comes with a low-maintenance, wildlife-resistant garden.
