This plant combination, in shades of golden yellow and purple, includes 4 fabulous Tall Bearded Irises with different flowering seasons for a longer display, ‘Wabash’ (Midseason), ‘Who Needs a Prince’ (Midseason), ‘Conjuration’ (Late Midseason) and ‘Fringe of Gold’ (Late Midseason), the architectural purple Allium ‘Giganteum’ and Lupine ‘Noble Maid’, the violet-blue blossoms of Salvia ‘Caradonna’ and 2 peony varieties, ‘Gardenia’ (Late Midseason) and ‘Garden Treasure’ (Late season).
Adding splashes of color in your late spring garden, this pairing will lengthen your bloom display and provide weeks of color until early summer.
