The Pacific Northwest is known for its mild, wet climate and rich soils, which are ideal for growing a wide range of shrubs, flowers and trees. Here are some landscape combination ideas to give you inspiration in your garden this spring!
Ceanothus and California Poppies
Ceanothus, also known as California lilac, produce bright blue or white flowers in the spring and summer. They pair well with California poppies, which produce vibrant orange, yellow, and red blooms.
Rhododendrons or Azaleas with Primroses
These colorful shrubs are a classic choice for Pacific Northwest gardens, and they pair well with a variety of flowering perennials such as bleeding heart, astilbe, and primrose.
Japanese Maples with Ferns
The delicate leaves of Japanese maples provide a stunning backdrop for ferns, which thrive in the moist, shaded conditions of the Pacific Northwest.
Hydrangeas with Hostas
Hydrangeas produce large, showy blooms in shades of pink, blue, and white, while hostas add texture and depth to garden beds with their lush foliage.
Hellebores and Heuchera
Hellebores, also known as Lenten roses, produce delicate, bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink, white, and green. They pair well with heuchera, which produce colorful foliage in shades of green, purple, and bronze.
Lilacs and Alliums
Lilacs are a fragrant and colorful addition to Pacific Northwest gardens, and they pair well with alliums, which produce tall, globe-shaped flowers in shades of purple and white.
Viburnum and Camellias
Viburnum produce clusters of fragrant, white or pink flowers in the spring, while camellias produce large, showy blooms in shades of pink, red, and white. These two shrubs complement each other well in a garden bed.
Blueberries and Daylilies
Blueberry bushes not only produce delicious fruit, but they also have attractive foliage and produce clusters of small, white flowers in the spring. They pair well with daylilies, which produce bright, trumpet-shaped flowers in a wide range of colors.
These are just a few of the many combination ideas for Pacific Northwest gardening. Consider selecting plants with similar growing conditions and complementary colors and textures to create a cohesive and visually appealing landscape.
