This romantic and delicate planting includes mostly chalk and lime-tolerant plants. Ranging from creamy white to blush and deepening to clarets and blues in the meadow, their soft colors create a sense of exquisite tranquility and deep relaxation. An excellent way to celebrate late spring and early summer.

Most plants are deer and rabbit resistant and won prestigious awards!
