Sun Loving Perennial Combo on Slope

Big blowzy blooms of statuesque Joe Pye weed, delicate waving wands of Verbena bonariensis and vibrant yellow blooms of threadleaf coreopsis bloom for a long time and are a magnet for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. This trio of sun-loving perennials is all the more showy when backed by deep purple foliage and frothy blooms of the purple smokebush.
