A most pleasing color combination, to my eye, is spiderwort with HP Sophie's Perpetual. (The southernmost spiderwort needs to be removed entirely and transplanted elsewhere, perhaps near General Jack? Sophie needs more air.) Now opening on the opposite pillar is a clematis that is about the same color as the spiderwort.
Another good combination is a lavender/pink delphinium with HP Marchioness of Londonderry, and a pink Canterbury bell just down the way, with geranium 'Wargrave Pink' farther down. The spiderwort also goes well with both HP Henry Nevard and HP Empereur du Maroc, along with HP Frau Karl Druschki. The lavender color is picked up down there by some pansies, and matched some of the iris earlier.
Seems like I dug the spiderwort out of a roadway somewhere, but what a find! The clumps increase yearly, blossoms open in the morning and close in the afternoon, healthy and laughs at both drought and too much rain. And it goes with everything.
There's a light purple monarda about to open; I don't remember that it does or doesn't blend well. Another monarda is red, and the pink achillea near it is beginning to open. The coreopsis hasn't opened yet.
I picked the first flower from DA Tamora just now. I shouldn't let roses bloom their first year, but this is such a great flower. Wonderful scent.
