An Eye-Catching Border Idea with Alliums and Lupines
Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Spring Borders, Summer Borders
Wow! Such a lovely plant combination to cheer you up for weeks and impress your neighbors in late spring - early summer! Lupines (Lupinus Polyphyllus) are one of the most striking perennials in the late spring garden with their elegant lines, exquisite colors and fine-textured foliage. They partner extremely well with the tall, architectural ornamental onions (Alliums) to create spectacular displays.
Both plants naturalize well, attract butterflies and are deer resistant.
This planting idea is easy to replicate and low maintenance. Enjoy!
