Perennial Combinations, Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Summer Borders
How not to marvel at the sumptuous colors of this perennial combination which can be enjoyed for several weeks in late spring or early summer. Fairly easy to recreate, it includes relatively drought tolerant plants such as gaily-colored Tall Bearded Irises, cool purples and blues of Sage, Catmint or Cranesbills, all splashed with the graceful blossoms of White Flower Lace.
Most plants have won prestigious awards, are deer and rabbit resistant and make excellent fresh cut flowers that can be pleasantly enjoyed at home!
