Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Summer Borders
On display in the New York Botanical Garden, this is a soft and elegant combination of colors that will brighten your shady garden from summer to fall. Low maintenance and easy to replicate, it includes 2 glorious and well-acclaimed ingredients: a luminous Hydrangea macrophylla and the most popular variegated hostas ever introduced.
Both plants have won the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. Enjoy!
