The captivating blend of peach and blue hues in this garden arrangement is truly eye-catching. Designed for longevity, this summer border showcases a collection of plants that not only are easy on the eyes but also easy to care for. They are drought-resistant, generally free from pests, and require minimal upkeep.
The ensemble features the luxurious Achillea ‘Walter Funckle,’ which brings rich peach tones, alongside the grassy beauty of Anemanthele lessoniana. Complementing these are the spiky charms of Euphorbia wallichii and the thistle-like allure of Eryngium x zabelii ‘Jos Eijking.’ The elegant umbels of Cenolophium denudatum and the azure spheres of Allium caeruleum add nuanced touches. Finally, the towering spires of Eremurus ‘Cleopatra’ offer a majestic finish to this well-curated border.
With this arrangement, you can look forward to a garden that’s not only beautiful but also remarkably easy to maintain. Prepare for months of vibrant colors and textures without the hassle of constant care. It’s the perfect inspiration for anyone looking to refresh their outdoor space with minimal effort.
