Perennial Combinations, Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Summer Borders
Helenium autumnale (Sneezeweed) are famous for adding their rich colors to late summer borders. When mixed with the equally colorful, rose-lavender spikes of Stachys macrantha (Big Betony), they create a long-lasting spectacular mix that is not only a feast for the eyes but also deer-resistant and fairly low maintenance!
Both plants are recipients of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. Enjoy!
