Key information
The Texture & Colour Essentials Combination is bold, layered and quietly dramatic, ideal for gardeners looking for a shade-friendly planting scheme with strong foliage contrast and seasonal flower. This considered planting combination pairs the feathery, architectural fronds of Ostrich Fern with the elegant white blooms of Anemone ‘Honorine Jobert’, grounded by the large, blue-green leaves of Hosta ‘Blue Angel’.
Perfect for shaded and partially shaded garden borders or large containers, this low-maintenance planting combination is supplied as 4 plants per m², creating a balanced, uncluttered look that allows each plant to perform at its best. Designed to deliver texture, depth and late-season interest, the Texture & Colour Essentials Combination brings structure and calm to woodland-style and contemporary garden designs alike.
