A beautiful combination of ornamental grasses and perennials turn this path into a welcoming walkway. The flowing foliage of Pennisetum setaceum ‘Rubrum’ (Purple Fountain Grass), Pennisetum thunbergii ‘Red Buttons’ (Fountain Grass), and Stipa tenuissima (Mexican Feather Grass) helps soften the abrupt transition between the paving and the plantings.
Adding a delicate airiness to the path with their white umbels floating atop mounds of lacy foliage, Cenolophium denudatum (Baltic Parsley) and Selinum wallichianum (Milk Parsley) mingle with unmatched elegance with the grasses. They are paired with soft-colored Astilbes, Centranthus ruber (Red Valerian), and Sanguisorba tenuifolia (Burnet) and wave a lovely tapestry that will gracefully sway in the breeze from mid-summer to fall.
