These are the plants which will be going in front of our charcoal painted weatherboard Victorian house. The garden there is going to be largely silver foliage plants with some purple highlights. We already have some echiverias (the rosette one & the purpley flat one) , 3 or 4 different artemisias & the native hop (the purpley red long leafed thing; has pretty purple seed pods too) growing there; this week I'll be adding some eryguim Mrs Wilmott's Ghost & an Echium (the one ith the white spires) I have seeds for the Lamb's Ears, Purple Millett, Purple Majesty, another erygium, flannel flowers & purple fountain grass so they'll go in as they grow big enough.
Just need a Royal Red Buddleia to complete the picture I have in my mind; plus a little regular rain & no slugs, snails birds or possums eating the plants & it'll be gorgeous!
I also have an idea brewing for a sculpture to go in this part of the yard made from some fabulous big worn old pieces of greyed timber we have lying around the place. they're big, chunky & have beautiful textures & crevices!
