Perennial Combinations, Plant Combinations, Flowerbeds Ideas, Spring Borders, Summer Borders
Diva of the late spring garden, Bearded Irises grow and show well in any garden setting that meets their cultural needs. Pairing them with companion plants such as perennials, flower bulbs or even ornamental grasses, accent each other in shape, texture, height or color and enhance the beauty of your borders.
This plant combination, in shades of golden yellow and purple, includes the ravishing spring flowering bulbs, Tulip ‘Blue Parrot’ and Narcissus ‘Tahiti’, 3 luminous Tall Bearded Irises with different flowering seasons for a longer display, ‘Better Than Butter’ (Early, Mid and Late Season), ‘That’s All Folks’ (Midseason) and ‘Fringe of Gold’ (Late Midseason), the architectural Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ and Lupine ‘Purple Swirl’, the violet-blue blossoms of Salvia ‘Caradonna’ and Pulsatilla (Basque Flower) as well as one of the hardiest English Rose, ‘Charlotte’.
Adding splashes of color in your late spring garden, this pairing will lengthen your bloom display and provide weeks of color until late summer.
Most plants have received prestigious awards and make excellent fresh cut flowers that can be pleasantly enjoyed at home!
