An Eye-Catching Border with Roses, Salvia and Geranium
Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Summer Borders
Roses, Salvia and Geranium always make a pleasing trio as outlined in this summer border. Here, the blossoms of English Rose Bonica, bred by Meilland, combine their soft rose-pink color and cup-shaped form happily with the vertical, deep purple and white spikes of 2 lovely Salvias and embrace the violet-blue flowers of Geranium.
Isn't it a marriage made in heaven?
A perfect planting idea for sunny city gardens, informal or cottage gardens and coastal gardens. All plants attract butterflies, most are fragrant, deer tolerant and won prestigious awards!
