Dry Garden Kit - Pink/Grey/Lilac

A soft, romantic take on the dry garden. This thirteen-plant collection weaves together silvery foliage and a wash of pink, rose, and lilac blooms for a border that feels as gentle as it is tough. Every plant here is built for heat, poor soil, and minimal watering once established — proof that a low-water garden doesn't have to sacrifice softness or color. From the felted silver leaves of Artemisia to the magenta glow of Silene, this palette holds its charm from late spring right through summer.

Includes: Achillea ptarmica 'Boule de Neige', Achillea sibirica 'Love Parade', Agastache 'Pink Pop', Artemisia absinthium 'Lambrook Silver', Centranthus ruber 'Roseus', Cistus x pulverulentus, Echinacea 'Sun Magic Vintage Pink', Geranium x cantabrigiense 'Biokovo', Santolina chamaecyparissus, Sedum 'Hab Grey', Silene coronaria, and Tanacetum densum subsp. amani.

Achillea ptarmica 'Boule de Neige' (Sneezewort)

A dainty, clump-forming perennial bearing masses of small, double, pure white pom-pom flowers on wiry stems from early to late summer. Its crisp white blooms bring a cool, contrasting brightness to a pink and lilac palette, floating above narrow green foliage. Easy-going and drought tolerant once rooted in, it's an excellent cut flower and a magnet for pollinators.

Achillea sibirica 'Love Parade' (Siberian Yarrow)

A tidy, upright perennial with flat clusters of soft pink flowers held above dark green, finely toothed foliage from summer into autumn. Tougher than it looks, this yarrow tolerates poor, dry soil with ease and keeps flowering reliably with minimal fuss — a gentle pink note that pairs beautifully with silver foliage companions.

Agastache 'Pink Pop' (Hummingbird Mint)

A compact, free-flowering perennial bearing tall spikes of vivid pink, tubular flowers from summer into autumn. Aromatic, minty foliage and nectar-rich blooms make it a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Once established, 'Pink Pop' handles heat and dry spells with ease, making it a long-blooming, low-fuss addition to any sunny bed.

Artemisia absinthium 'Lambrook Silver' (Wormwood)

A finely cut, almost lacy silver-grey foliage plant that forms a soft, glowing mound in the border. Small yellow flowers appear in summer but are secondary to the foliage, which is the real draw — a shimmering backdrop that makes neighboring pinks and lilacs pop. Extremely drought tolerant and unfussy, it thrives in lean, well-drained soil and full sun.

Centranthus ruber 'Roseus' (Valerian)

A billowy, fast-growing perennial with rounded clusters of soft rose-pink flowers held on tall stems from late spring through summer, often reblooming if deadheaded. Valerian is famously tough, self-seeding happily in poor, dry, even rubble-strewn soil — a classic sight tumbling from old stone walls. A long season of color for very little effort.

Cistus x pulverulentus (Rock Rose)

A low, spreading evergreen shrub with soft grey-green foliage and crinkled, papery pink flowers with a deep rose-red blotch at the base of each petal, blooming through late spring and summer. Native to rocky Mediterranean hillsides, it's exceptionally heat and drought tolerant, needing only full sun and sharp drainage to put on its daily flower show.

Echinacea 'Sun Magic Vintage Pink' (Coneflower)

A compact, sturdy coneflower bearing large, soft pink daisy-like blooms with a warm central cone, flowering from summer into early autumn. Sturdy stems hold up well without staking, and its nectar-rich flowers are a favorite of bees and butterflies. Once established, it tolerates dry spells and poor soil while still delivering a long, reliable bloom season.

Geranium x cantabrigiense 'Biokovo' (Cranesbill)

A low, spreading ground cover with aromatic, semi-evergreen foliage and a profusion of small, pale pink-blushed white flowers in late spring and early summer. Vigorous but well-behaved, 'Biokovo' knits together gaps between larger plants, suppresses weeds, and colors beautifully in autumn. Thrives in poor, dry soil and asks for very little care once settled in.

Santolina chamaecyparissus (Cotton Lavender)

A compact, mounding shrub with finely textured, silvery-grey foliage that stays attractive year-round. In summer, cheerful button-like yellow flowers rise just above the foliage — trim after blooming if you'd rather keep the display purely silver. Exceptionally drought tolerant once rooted in, its foliage is the real workhorse here, threading silver through the whole border.

Sedum 'Hab Grey' (Stonecrop)

A low, spreading succulent with fleshy, powder-grey foliage that holds its color and structure through the driest, hottest stretches of summer. Small starry flowers appear atop the foliage in season, but it's the cool grey mat of leaves that earns this sedum its place — an ideal edging or gap-filler that thrives on neglect and needs almost no water once established.

Silene coronaria (Rose Campion)

A striking, silver-leaved perennial with felted, woolly grey foliage and vivid magenta-pink flowers held on branching stems through summer. Few plants pack this much color contrast into so little water — Rose Campion is drought tolerant to the point of thriving in gravel and neglect, self-seeding gently to weave pink through the border year after year.

Tanacetum densum subsp. amani (Silver Tansy)

A low, mat-forming perennial with intricately feathery, silvery-white foliage that stays attractive through every season. Grown almost entirely for its foliage, it forms a dense, frosted carpet that's ideal for edging paths or softening the base of taller plants. Extremely drought tolerant and thriving in poor, gritty soil, it needs full sun and little else.
