This sun-loving trio of perennials is drought-tolerant and easy-care. Rich, dark daylily blooms, reminiscent of chocolate, echo the dark stems of its perennial partner, Sedum 'Matrona'. Wispy foliage of Mexican feather grass catches the light and the breeze, introducing movement to this vignette. This planting combination provides blooms over a long period starting in early summer, and the aging blooms of the sedum provide extended interest with attractive seed heads.
