Perennial Combinations, Plant Combinations, Prairie Planting Ideas, Summer Borders
This soft, naturalistic planting is designed to inspire gardeners to support local wildlife. Incorporating wildlife-friendly areas into our gardens is very important. Bees, bugs, and butterflies all help in the pollination process, as well as creating balanced ecosystems. This luminous prairie-style planting associates a wonderful mix of easy-care annuals, perennials, and ornamental grasses for a long-lasting summer display.
Most plants are recipients of prestigious awards and are drought tolerant. Enjoy!
