An Explosive Mix!

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!
