Conservation plants in the garden

Plants in the Conservation Scheme should be completely hardy and perform well in the garden, but we don't grow plants in isolation and I've been looking out for some interesting planting combinations.

Erigeron ‘Sincerity' has flowered well this summer; seen here with Heuchera ‘David' and Heuchera ‘Burgundy Frost' in front (both heucheras are also conservation plants) and a hylotelephium behind, and in the next image with Astrantia major.

Another lovely combination for full sun; Geranium ‘Pink Delight' and Ballota pseudodictamnus B&M8119 (above)

Here Hemerocallis ‘Cherry Ripe' bursts through Nepeta racemosa ‘Walker's Low'

While in a partly-shaded area, Zantedeschia aethiopica ‘Glencoe' stands over a mophead hydrangea with Lysimachia ephemerum in the background.
