| CLASSIC COMBINATION |
|
|
"Queen Anne's lace, purple coneflowers, and black-eyed
Susans are the perfect old-fashioned combination," says Lydia Somerville,
Southern Accents senior editor and author of The Southern Garden.
This is a tested and resilient trio, offering a pleasant contrast of colors,
textures, and shapes. Essentially plant-and-forget wildflowers, they tolerate
drought, poor soil, and hot sun with aplomb. All three require minimal attention
and willingly self-sow, quickly spreading within the landscape. Think of this
infallible combo as a hat trick for the garden.
