Palette : Purple/Silver

Silver & Purple Dry Garden Kit

A ready-made planting scheme built around silvery foliage and purple-to-magenta flowers - a classic combination for a sunny, drought-tolerant border, gravel garden, or Mediterranean-style bed.

The silver foundation:

• Artemisia absinthium 'Lambrook Silver' - finely cut, intensely silver foliage; the anchor plant for this color scheme
• Stachys byzantina (lamb's ears) - soft, felted silver-grey leaves, a classic textural contrast
• Convolvulus cneorum - silky silver leaves with white funnel-shaped flowers

The purple and magenta layer:

• Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' - compact clusters of small purple flowers, held through summer into autumn
• Silene coronaria (rose campion) - vivid magenta-pink flowers rising above soft silver-grey foliage, doing double duty in both color groups
• Cistus x pulverulentus - bowl-shaped, pink-purple flowers with crinkled grey-green leaves
• Cordyline australis 'Burgundy Spire' - deep burgundy-purple, upright strap-like foliage for vertical structure
