Key information
The Scandinavian Essentials Combination is light, pared-back and full of movement, ideal for gardeners looking for a modern, natural planting scheme inspired by Scandinavian design. This carefully balanced planting combination pairs the fine, flowing texture of Mexican Feather Grass with the airy, long-flowering blooms of Gaura ‘Whirling Butterflies’, anchored by the deep, inky-purple flower spikes of Salvia ‘Nachtvlinder’.
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 uncluttered look that establishes quickly. Designed to rely on movement, texture and a restrained colour palette, the Scandinavian Essentials Combination delivers elegant structure and soft seasonal colour from late spring through to autumn.
