Great Companion Plants-Mid July Color


Great companion plants that will do great together! Shasta Daisies in the back, Rose Campion in the next row, Coreopsis and Centaurea Montana staggered in the front. Red, white, blue, yellow---all bold colors that will look fantastic for weeks. My previous posts extolled the virtues of these four perennials. If you have a nice sunny location you will get excellent results by following this rough sketch. Think massing and grouping, not straight lines. If you are purchasing plants, go for 1 gallon or even 2 gallon sizes to get them to fill in quickly. Otherwise, 3 inch and 6 inch clumps from a fellow gardener will work perfectly!

Good luck!!!
