Stipa & Verbascum plant combination
Stipa & Verbascum plant combination
The verbascum starts to shoot up in early summer, so this is when the display starts. The grass catches up over summer, and this is when the show is at its best. Later, long after the verbascums have died back, the grass still offers impact and colour well into autumn. With this in mind, this is a good combination if you want a long period of interest.
What's included:
In this collection you will receive three of each of the following plants. They are all supplied in a 9cm nursery pot.
Stipa gigantea: Arching stems of glistening, golden, oat-like flowerheads above clumps of slender, grey-green leaves. This majestic evergreen grass is an excellent specimen plant for a sunny, mixed or new perennial border. Perfect for introducing movement. Grows to 2.5m.
Verbascum (Cotswold Group) 'Gainsborough': Statuesque spires of saucer-shaped, soft yellow flowers from May to August above rosettes of grey-green leaves. This delicate pale yellow verbascum is perfect for a sunny border or cottage garden. The pale yellow flowers and grey-green foliage look excellent next to the thistle-like blue flowerheads of Echinops ritro. Thrives in poor, well-drained soil. Grows to 1.2m.

Some of the plants in this collection will die right back in autumn, then fresh new growth will appear again in spring.
