Blue & yellow Plants to the left of the path: Prairie rosinweed (Silphium terebinthinaceum), autumn moor grass (Sesleria autumnalis) and ‘Filigran’ Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia ‘Filigran’); plants on the right: ‘Blue Fortune’ hyssop (Agastache ‘Blue Fortune’) and ‘Karl Foerster’ feather reed grass (Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’) Did you notice how Pell mapped out the plantings so a purple- or blue-flowering plant is always next to a swath of a yellow-flowering, yellow-green or bronze foliage plant? This arrangement helps show off the contrast between the yellow and lavender hues.
Goldsturm’ coneflower (Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii ‘Goldsturm’) and native purple prairie clover (Dalea purpurea) make a complementary vignette among a larger meadow planting.
