Belmont Hill Residence
The master plan for this south-facing woodland property celebrates dramatic topography, muscular canopy trees, remnant fieldstone walls, and native stone outcroppings. Sound vegetation management principles guide each phase of installation, and the true character of the woodland is revealed. Stone walls form terraces that traverse native topography, and a meticulously crafted stone staircase provides casual passage to a gently sloping lawn knoll carved from the existing hillside. Lush perennial borders and native plant stands create edges and thresholds, and a crisp palette of traditional and contemporary materials merge––building upon the surrounding topography and site geology.

Matthew Cunningham Landscape Design LLC These are Allium 'Globemaster'. It's is by far one of my favorites. Unfortunately it dies off after a few years, and if you want to keep a healthy crop, you should stagger the plantings ever couple of years. They are fairly easy to propagate from divisions. Definitely worth trying because they can be expensive... Also, these are deer-resistant! I often use them around peonies because they bloom at the same time, and the deer will often avoid things that have an onion/garlic scent... Good luck!

Matthew Cunningham Landscape Design LLC Hi there--I'm sorry we missed your question earlier! The plants in bloom in this photo are Allium 'Globemaster', Nepeta f. 'Walker's Low', and Salvia 'May Night'. Depending on where you live, each of these plants is fairly durable and reliable. Good luck!
What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Frank Organ to Focus Your Garden Palette
Where blue meets violet. The next stage in our color-theme borders is using one part of the color spectrum. Here we see a planting of cooler colors with catmint, Nepeta mussinii, blending with mauve alliums and deep purple salvias.
added by Marianne Lipanovich to Lay of the Landscape: Theme Gardens
Purples and blues create a restful retreat, especially welcome at the end of a hectic workweek. If you want a bit more color, pink is a logical choice, but orange will make a stronger statement.Design tip: Whether your taste runs to cool hues or hot, including a single plant with a flower color from the opposite side of the color wheel will add punch and a focal point to the space.
added by Amy Renea to Keep Your Garden on Point With Spikes of Purple
Mix any of the purple-spiked plants with purple globes of allium for a fun contrast of shape and height.
added by LuAnn Brandsen to Garden Color: How to Landscape With Purple
For a broader palette, choose an analogous color scheme that combines neighboring hues on the color wheel, as in this front garden with its soothing blend of blue, violet and purple. The plant selections include dwarf catmint Nepeta mussinii, alliums and purple salvia.
added by Le jardinet to Monochromatic Garden Magic Done 7 Ways
For a more romantic look, combine cottage garden favorites, such as fragrant catmint (Nepeta sp) with perennial sage (Salvia sp). Their mounding forms are punctuated here by spheres of lilac alliums, held aloft on sturdy stems.This is a great drought-tolerant summer trio for full sun.
added by Laura Gaskill to Do You Have a Signature Color? Here's How to Find and Use It
Look around. If you need further inspiration, keep a small color notebook or (even better) take snapshots of anything that catches your eye. You never know where you might spy a color that calls your name: flowers in the garden, a film poster, a shop display or your own wardrobe.
added by Paintbox Garden to Northeast Gardener's May Checklist
Plan for early color. If you have a lot of summer bloomers, like daylilies, roses and hydrangeas, think about adding plants that peak early. For a soft spring combination, try growing the wonderful 'May Night' salvia (Salvia nemerosa 'May Night', zones 4 to 8) with ornamental onion (Allium 'Globemaster') and softly textured, fragrant Walker's Low catmint (Nepeta x faasenii 'Walker's Low', zones 3 to 8). Shear the salvia to the ground after it flowers, and it will rebloom.
