Perennial Plant Combinations
Perennial Plant Pairings
A few combinations of plants to add color to your yard/garden, for a different look than what is down the street or next door, and also some suggestions for succession planting for a longer season of interest, texture, and color, and an important tip on dying bulb foliage.
Perennial Plant Combinations
Use Roses, Clematis, and Spring Bulbs to Brighten Your Surroundings
Two or as many as four Clematis vines, that bloom simultaneously in different colors and/or that bloom at different times to extend the season of bloom.
Rose bush in front of Clematis in a harmonious color combination
Clematis and Perennial Sweet Pea (Lathyrus)
Roses and Daisies
Spring-flowering bulbs over-planted with Daylilies to hide dying bulb foliage (Don't cut off or tie up bulb foliage-that is needed to make food for next season so you can have a great bulb display in the spring!)
Blue campanula (bell flower) and silver-leaved Artemesias, such as Old Woman
Old fashioned Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectabilis) in front of one of the very earliest Clematis
Peony in front of early Clematis-similar color, or contrasting colors
Succession planting of Daffodils, Tulips, Iris, Peonies, Oriental Poppies, and Day Lilies
