Mauve and Lilac Coloured Plants
October 10th, 2010
Lychnis coronaria also called Rose Campion and Eryngium ‘Superbum’ or Sea Holly blend well together in this late summer photo.The colour combination may be a bit too Barbara Cartland for some tastes.
Eryngium like Echinops have spiky leaves and bristly metallic blue flowers that make it a great architectural plant. The grey green unassuming leaves of Lychnis belie the strength of colour of their flowers.
Salvias are available in a range of colours including reddish blue. I might have been tempted to partner with the insignificant but highly aromatic Night scented stocks for this photo
