Colorful blooms—deep pink coneflowers and multicolored lilies—from spring to late summer, are framed by blue and burgundy foliage. The saturated, strappy foliage of the pineapple lily accentuates the dark stems of Echinacea 'Merlot' and the deeply colored eyes of the lilies. The upright grass and allium orbs atop tall stems add gentle movement.
