‘Sea Holly, Rudbeckia, & Russian Sage’
Heatherwood Meadow
Heatherwood is peppered with Purple and Gold. No one would guess that I am a died in wool University of Washington Husky!
This image is all about contrast. It represents contrast in color (yellow & purple), shape (globes, stars, and spikes), as well as texture (smooth, prickly, and soft).
This combination of plants also remind me of their spreading capability. When we planted the meadow three years ago, we had a couple of groupings of individual rudbeckia, sea holly and Russian sage. Today they are spread throughout our lower garden. By the end of the season we will have enough seedlings to share with our neighbors!
