Sometimes all you need to get started on a planting project is a little bit of inspiration. This page provides some tried-and-true plant combinations as well as a few unexpected but creative companions. Got a fabulous combination you’d like others to know about.
 This bright combination of Missouri Primrose (Oenothera macrocarpa) and Purple Poppy Mallow (Callirhoe involucrata) is perfect for a dry sunny area. |
 Nature often provides great ideas for home plantings. Here, colorful Asters and Sumac grow together in a rural ditch |
 Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica) and Celandine Poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum) are a classic combination in shaded areas. |
