Blue Skies Aster and Golden Fleece Solidago: This dynamic duo offers a spectacular late-season show with aster's brilliant blues and goldenrod's sunny yellows, attracting pollinators in droves.
Guava Lava Agastache and Jr. Walker Nepeta: These fragrant friends create a sensory delight with the vibrant hues of agastache complemented by the soft lavender-blue of nepeta, both loved by bees and butterflies.
Shasta Daisy 'Becky' and New Vintage Violet Yarrow: Both hardy and long-blooming, they offer a splash of vibrant color and texture throughout the summer, drawing butterflies and enhancing any garden palette with their cheerful presence.
Russian Sage and Blackeyed Susans: Russian Sage offers tall spires of lavender-blue flowers and silvery foliage that beautifully offset the bright, sunny yellow blooms of Black-Eyed Susans. Together, they create a lively, airy display that attracts pollinators and adds a touch of wildflower charm to garden beds.
Pineapple Sage and Salvia: The tropical fruity aroma of pineapple sage pairs beautifully with the deep, rich colors of salvia, each attracting its own set of pollinators throughout the season.
Lavender and Rosemary: These Mediterranean companions thrive together, offering fragrance, culinary uses, and a visually appealing blend of foliage textures. Perfect for sunny areas that are dry.
Echinacea and Coreopsis: With Pow Wow Berry Echinacea’s bold pink cones and Coreopsis’s golden daisy-like blooms, this pair lights up the garden, providing nectar throughout the summer.
These pairings ensure a garden that is not only beautiful but also robust and active with beneficial insects, promising lasting enjoyment and ecological benefits.
Happy Gardening!
