Perennial Combinations, Plant Combinations, Summer Borders
Awash with colors and shapes, this fabulous perennial planting brilliantly associates the bold, steel blue globe-shaped flowers of Echinops ritro (Globe Thistle) with the vertical purple spires of Anise Hyssop (Agastache). Created by world acclaimed designer, Piet Oudolf, at RHS Wisley Garden, Surrey, this naturalized perennial combination enjoys a long season of interest, is drought tolerant, deer resistant, low maintenance and a real magnet to butterflies and bees!
To create this prairie looking design, amass these plants in bold swathes.
