The Effortless Indigo Combination is calm, rhythmic and rich in tone, ideal for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance planting scheme with cool colour and natural movement. This elegant planting combination pairs the deep indigo blooms of Iris ‘Tropic Night’ with the soft, dancing seed heads of Quaking Grass, finished with the aromatic foliage and long-flowering haze of Catmint.
Perfect for sunny garden borders, gravel gardens and contemporary planting schemes, this low-maintenance planting combination is supplied as 7 plants per m², creating a full yet airy display that establishes quickly. Designed to deliver colour, texture and movement from late spring through to summer, the Effortless Indigo Combination brings a relaxed, modern feel to both informal and design-led garden spaces.
Top Tip
Plant Iris ‘Tropic Night’ in small groups for impact, then weave Quaking Grass and Catmint around it in loose drifts so the planting feels light, flowing and natural as it matures.
