A POP of Cool
Jennifer Polanz
This unique mix for fall from Monrovia offers pops of color combined with some wispy fountain grass for movement. This all-perennial, pollinator-attracting combo includes:
- Hypericum x inodorum FloralBerry Rosé
- Pennisetum alopecuroides Ginger Love
- Euphorbia x martinii Ascot Rainbow
This mix is deer resistant, too, and works best in 16- to 18-in. containers. The cool weather will bring out salmon-pink flushes in Ascot Rainbow’s chartreuse leaves, too.
We’ll be running container combo ideas from partner members of National Garden Bureau. You have to be a member to have your combos listed on the NGB website and featured here. (If you’re not a member, you should be! Visit
