Grass Bed, The Garth, July 2014

The new grass bed is now in full bloom and now one of my favourite features within the garden. The Allium sphaerocephalon I planted in October is now in full bloom and absolutely breath-taking. I first came across this wonderful variety at Ellicar Gardens and fell in love with both the architectural form and tonal variation it offers. I have paired it with Verbena bonariensis and white Echinaceas and think the colour combination works really well. All three are constantly covered in bees and butterflies which is what I was hoping for.

The main backbone of the bed is created from Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'overdam', Stipa tenuissima and Misscanthus sinensis all grown at home from seed and division. The bed has a beautiful ethereal quality and I love how the planting moves and catches the light.
