How Plant Combinations Create Stunning Visuals in Landscape Design ?

To create visually stunning gardens with colour contrast, texture, and seasonal variation, it's always a good idea to utilise plant combinations in landscape design.

I always consider a well designed border a piece of art! This one I find particular fascinating with its daring color and texture combinations. It is like a modern painting. The photo was taken a long time ago in a private garden in England which, if I recall correctly, belonged to a well known painter. Clearly a master in the garden as well! Changing the subject, I have to say that I felt pretty tired yesterday, so today I intend to only do things that I would like to and definitely not too much of anything. I am in the mood for baking a cake, though.

Love this planting combination. From the top we have Miscanthus ‘Flamingo’ with Artemisia ‘Powis Castle’ in front. And at the very front Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’. And joy is the word that sums up this combination for me. Planting for different heights, textures and foliage shapes can make or break a good plant combo.

Two of my fave plants - even better together - Pink Muhly grass and Brazilian Verbena.

There really aren’t many plants, especially hardy, species plants, with an orange as vibrant and pure as Calendula officinalis (Common Marigold). Today’s #oneadayplant . Maybe Berberis darwinii and Pilosella aurantiaca (Fox and Cubs). Either way, I should say, I generally don’t love orange as a colour, but in these three plants I think it is magnificent! . The purest colours have a majestic quality, often producing their own light. This is no exception. On a dull day, it will shine out like little lanterns. . Over the years, plants seem to have become shorter than they used to be. I don’t think it is because I am taller. I think it might be a consequence of deliberate seed selection, but rather than be 60-75cm tall (2’ - 21/2’) tall, they are commonly not more than 45cm (18”) tall. A pity. Still gorgeous though. . They are a ‘mostly’ hardy biennial (In truth, a short lived perennial) and are naturalised in Southern England, but grow happily anywhere in the UK. Their perennial nature is tested in colder and particularly wetter climates, where they may be better suited to being treated as an annual. . I love this plant. Sprinkle petals into salads. Watch the pollinating insects visit the flowers over a very long season - realistically from May to the first frosts. 🐝 🦋 . Bake in the sun and grow with grasses and bright blues (maybe Anchusa ‘Loddon Royalist’ or later in the season with Ceratostigma plumbaginoides. . #calendula #potmarigold #orange #berberisdarwinii #pilosellaaurantiaca #foxandcubs #calendulaofficinalis #anchusaloddonroyalist #ceratostigmaplumbaginoides #flowers #plants #plantingdesign #iplantsman #plantcombinations #colourcontrasts #complementarycolours #purecolours #orange #colour #colourtheory #bees #butterflies #pollinators #pollinatorfriendly #salads #edible #growyourown #gyo #slowfood #garden (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCS5qYogAxK/?igshid=1wan6b7u4q5hk

Thanks to the #northwesthorticulturalsociety for inviting us members to the „meet the board“ event! it was nice to meet some of the people behind the scenes, but really, any excuse for a garden tour. 😎 . this was my second trip to vashon island in as many weeks. a wonderful and serene place where the world moves at a slower pace (though not the cars necessarily). and just to check, this is still my favourite plant and colour combination — verbena bonariensis and indian ricegrass, seen at @froggsong_garden. simplicity is best. . #vashonisland #gardentour #verbenabonariensis #oryzopsishymenoides #plants #plantingdesign #plantcombinations #gardendesign #landscapedesign #englishstyle #pnw (at Vashon, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CS_UvguVA/?igshid=zvxjaizbtz9

The plant combination in this border caught my eye when scrolling through older photos. I can’t help but thinking that it showcases the perfect layering of purple flowering plants. I love the darker purple salvia in the foreground, the globular purple alliums in the center and the airy and wispy light purple verbena bonariensis in the background. I feel very tempted to repeat this plant combo in my own garden, but, since I can’t grow alliums, to substitute them with lavender or purple flowering roses. What do you think? Does this planting scheme appeal to you as well? Have you also gotten inspiration for plant combinations from other gardens? And if so, what combinations have you fallen in love with? Please do share so that we all can inspire each other. After all it is spring! Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday, with maybe a bit of gardening scattered in, if your climate allows! P.S. My photo was taken at Regent’s Park in London many years ago. . . . #plantcombinations #plantcombination #salvia #salvias #allium #alliums #verbenabonariensis #border #floweringborder #purple #purpleplants #purplefloweringplants #regentspark #london #englishborder #englishborders #gardening #publicparks #garden #gardens #organicgardendreams (at Regent's Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvZM-hSFYHI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ziyepbxy3yil

Great plant combinations really excite me. At a friends last night and this Primula vialii and Actea combination looked just perfect. What do you think? #primulavialii #actea #cimicifuga #plantphotography #plantcombinations https://www.instagram.com/p/BzICcFvABN6/?igshid=1nwv9r29wpxd5

This is one of the plantings I did last year. LOVING the variegated Solomon's Seal and it has quickly grown more shoots. #solomonsseal #polygonatumodoratum #hexastylisarifolia #fern #ginger #ilovegardening #ncmountains #nativeplants #plantcombinations #landscapedesign (at Gerton, North Carolina)
