Re: Spring Perennials/ Combinations
Hi Susan,
This is similar to one of the combinations I have here in the garden. I use
the native Dutchman's Breeches and Squirrel Corn (Dicentras) around the base of my
peonies. The finely cut foliage in blue-green with the soft white of blooms goes
well with the emerging red peony foliage. Of course, I am also growing peony where
one is not supposed to grow them.. in an open shade garden. The dicentra disappear
soon after the peony foliage matures in any case.
Another favorite along these lines is the variegated Solomon's Seal with a
carpet of Anemone nemorosa Robinsonia (lavender-blue) through and around the
emerging claret red stems.
