This summer border brims with gorgeous blooms and makes the garden sing from late spring to fall.
To recreate this lovely planting at home, you may want to combine the deep crimson-pink flowers of English Rose ‘Darcey Bussell’ with the cool purple flower spikes of Salvia nemorosa ‘Caradonna’. Add the majestic Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’ as an overtopping backdrop with its feathery flower plumes that are enchantingly light-filtering.
Complement with the brilliant and cheerful Sanguisorba ‘Tanna’ (Great Burnet), which will weave through the other plants, adding color and life to the late summer garden.
Lending wonderful architecture to the back of the border is Veronicastrum virginicum Album (Culver’s Root) with its attractive flowers, lovely structure and form.
Most plants have won prestigious awards. Enjoy a terrific summer garden!
