Sneak peek! Salvia, miscanthus and peonies combine warm and cool colors.

But looking closer we see a further link to Monet, with the touch of white blooms to set off mauves and purples. It's a simple way to enliven monotone plantings and one that we find at Giverny, not only in borders of pastel plantings but also in some of the hot colors of late summer and autumn.

Salvia is great in clumps or mixed in with larger, lighter blooms. Plant salvia when you need a little contrast for just a few pennies. These plants can be split and divided every few years for new, free plants.

Popular peony types:Hybrid: Hybrids are a cross between two other peony species. They typically bloom earlier in the season and offer additional colors and foliage types, but often have only one bloom per stem. Hybrids die to the ground during winter but will return with new growth each spring. Look for 'Coral Charm' and 'Do Tell'.Lactiflora: Native to China, lactiflora peonies are the most common peonies found in nurseries. Most produce side buds, which allow more than one bloom per stem. They also die to the ground during winter and return in the spring. Try 'Dark Purple Silk' and 'Brightly Colored Golden Star'.Tree: These peonies lose their leaves in the fall, but their stems stay intact through the winter. They are typically slower to grow. Look for 'Big Deep Purple' or 'Black Dragon Brocade'.Intersectional: Intersectional peonies are a cross between tree peonies and those that lose their leaves in the fall. They feature the same leaf formation as the tree peony but die back in the winter before returning in the spring. They command a higher price because they are newer introductions in the peony world. Good choices include 'Garden Treasure' and 'Cora Louise'.

Great combo! -the white flowers are peonies. We used unnamed white ones, but I did originally specify 'Festiva Maxima' which is a really tough one--very durable! Good luck.

Flowers and Plants Flowers Keep Your Garden on Point With Spikes of Purple Tall purple blooms bridge color gaps, contrast round flower forms and make for intriguing masses in the landscape Follow Amy Renea Come visit me at 'A Nest for All Seasons' where I write about design, photography... More » 2 Bookmark Email Embed Click "Embed" to display an article on your own website or blog. "Purple-spiked plants" isn't an official gardening classification, but perhaps it should be. This particular color and form is a peacemaker in the garden and a favorite of gardeners from coast to coast. From the lightest of lilac to the deepest royal purple and every shade in between, these purples can bridge the gap between yellow and white, green and pink or even orange and blue. And the spikes of these plants offer vertical interest in gardens full of roundness and circular forms. You might think of lavender when you first hear the classification of "purple-spiked plants," but there is a world of other choices. Catmint, Russian sage, penstemon and salvia also benefit a variety of garden styles. traditional landscape by AHBL Add to ideabook by AHBL by AHBL The classic Russian Sage (Perovskia, USDA zones 6 to 9) gives lavender a run for its money as the most common purple plant in today's gardens. Easily massed and faster growing than lavender, this plant seems to mass and mix with ease in almost any environment. landscape by Andrew Keys Add to ideabook by Andrew Keys by Andrew Keys Catmint (Nepeta, USDA zones 3 to 9) is another fast-growing, easy-to-propagate plant that mimics lavender's growth habit and style.
