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 soft salmon-pink, includes 2 gorgeous Tall Bearded Irises, ‘Absolute Treasure’ (Midseason) and ‘Queen’s Circle’ (Late Midseason), the tall Lupines ‘Noble Maiden’ and ‘My Castle’ (Lupinus), Sea Thrift (Armeria maritima), Oriental Poppy ‘Harlem’ (Papaver orientale), Columbine Songbird ‘Dove’ (Aquilegia) and the delightful Peony ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ (Paeonia lactiflora).
Adding splashes of color in your late spring garden, this pairing will lengthen your bloom display and provide weeks of color until early summer.
Most plants are deer or rabbit resistant and make excellent fresh cut flowers that can be pleasantly enjoyed at home!
