Count on these spring bloomers to put on a show, then quietly go away. Grape hyacinths and buttercup anemones combine well. From the many types of grape hyacinths, try Muscari latifolium, with florets of light purple on top and dark purple on bottom. Plant both with other woodland perennials that will grow to cover the bare spots left when these go dormant.
An Easy Summer Combo
Some plants behave like well-trained dogs: Just unleash and watch them romp. The high-impact yellow of a black-eye Susan contrasts with the brilliant burgundy of a dark-leafed sedum. Both adore full sun and take almost no care, peaking in mid- to late summer. Sedums are hardy perennials. While some varieties of black-eyed Susans only last one or two years, they readily reseed.
Adding heliotrope to any combination adds an enticing sweet fragrance; some say it smells like vanilla, while others call it cherry pie. Choose from bloom colors in purple, blue, or white to contrast with yellow Asiatic lilies. For a fully fragrant duo, plant a yellow Oriental lily. The lilies are hardy but heliotropes only last one season in northern climates. Both prefer a full sun location.
One Tough Trio
Want some rugged plants that will go ahead and make your day? Yellow yarrow, purple catmint, and deep-violet 'May Night' salvia stand up to almost anything nature dishes out. Once established, these three summer-blooming perennials are heat- and drought-tolerant. They prefer well-drained soil and can repeat bloom when spent flowers are removed. Best of all, butterflies like them and deer don't.
