Love this planting combination. From the top we have Miscanthus ‘Flamingo’ with Artemisia ‘Powis Castle’ in front. And at the very front Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’. And joy is the word that sums up this combination for me. Planting for different heights, textures and foliage shapes can make or break a good plant combo.

For me small dainty flowers are equally important in the garden in comparison to the bigger more showy blooms of roses, irises or dahlias for example. I think small and big blooms benefit from each other when planted in close proximity because the contrast in the size of the flowers keeps things interesting and diversified. I found the plant featured in this post blooming in Mottisfont Abbey Gardens in England and have fallen in love with it. Unfortunately, I have no clue what it is. It looks like some type of lobelia to me, though. Can you knowledgeable IG gardeners come to the rescue and help me identify it?
