Spring Combinations II

Delicate peach Iris
turns dramatic when paired with
bright blue perennial Salvia.

Effective combinations bring out the best in plants.

Here are a few
that caught my eye around town
earlier this spring....

Blue Star (Amsonia hubrichtii) and yellow Iris

emphasize deep purple spikes of

Caradonna Meadow Sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna'),

Evening Primrose (Oenothera speciosa) and Blue Flax (Linun lewisii) 

create cool waves of color.

This casual bank covering seems like

a good spot for the drought tolerant

Evening Primrose, which can spread aggressively.

Red poppies (Papaver) and

Blue Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)

make a free and easy duo.

A pretty pink and blue palette:

Blue False Indigo (Baptisia australis - top right corner)

Coralbells (Heuchera - center)
