This casual and cottage-y perennial plant combination for full sun employs a variety of flower shapes to create interest. The Jerusalem sage is decorated with dollops of yellow along rigid stems and mingles with the hovering orbs of Allium cristophii. The dried flowers of both are architecturally interesting even after the color fades. Spires of purple from Salvia n. 'Caradonna' add yet another element to the shape study. This trio is rounded out with the addition of a swaying grass with a narrow profile and a long-blooming, easy-care shrub rose with a relaxed habit.
