Combining hostas: the best companions for shaded corners
Hostas are essential in shade, but a monoculture is dull. Learn how to pair hostas with ferns, hellebores and other foliage plants for a lush, four-season shadow border.
Combining salvias with roses: the classic cottage border everyone loves
Roses without underplanting look bare-legged. Salvia is the perfect partner: blue-purple flowers, fine foliage, and they grow together like friends. This is the English border you've always wanted.
Combining sedums with grasses: drought-hardy year-round beauty
Sedums and grasses are made for each other: both minimal care, both four-season structure, both thrive in poor soil. This is the drought-loving border that asks nothing but gives everything.
Combining panicle hydrangeas: borders that shine late in the season
Panicle hydrangeas bloom August to November when many gardens are fading. Combine them with late-blooming perennials, grasses and colourful shrubs for a garden that truly explodes in autumn.
Combining rudbeckias with grasses: the prairie look for late summer from July to October
Rudbeckia (black-eyed Susan) and ornamental grasses are the foundation of the prairie border: simple, low-maintenance, but full of colour and movement. Combine them well and you have a July-to-October garden that feels like America's Tallgrass Prairie.
Combining boxwood alternatives: elegant borders without box blight risk
Boxwood died on a massive scale. Its alternatives — Ilex crenata, Lonicera nitida, Buxus wallichiana — grow identically. Do you know how to combine them? This is elegant boxwood-lookalike garden design without the risk.
Combining lavender with rosemary: a Mediterranean sunny border that blooms all summer
Lavender and rosemary are made for the same soil, same sun, same watering regime. Combine them with thyme, santolina and salvias and you have a Mediterranean border that's in full bloom June to September.
Combining verbena bonariensis: height and lightness in any border
Verbena bonariensis (purple top verbena) is not aggressive, not invasive, but breaks all rules by becoming thin, tall and full of purple-pink flowers. It's the perfect centrepiece plant for borders: you see through it, but it brings structure and bloom.
Cranesbill geranium as groundcover: combinations that cover shade and sun
Cranesbill geranium (not the red summer type) flowers for months, tolerates shade and sun, and grows as groundcover. No other plant is this versatile. These are combinations that truly fill every corner.
Combining peonies: a spring border that carries through the entire season
Peonies bloom two weeks in May-June. After: massive green foliage all summer. Combine them with early bulbs, spring ephemerals and summer-blooming perennials and you have a border that never feels empty.
Helleborus combinations: your garden blooms in January
Helleborus (Christmas rose) pairs beautifully with other early bloomers. With the right planting companions, you'll have a full, colourful winter border from December to March.
Astilbe and hosta in the shade corner: feathery plumes between leafy foliage
Astilbe and hosta are the perfect duo for shady spots. Hosta provides solid foliage, Astilbe adds airy blooms. A combination that delivers non-stop colour and texture from May to September.
