One of my favorite compositions - a mix of old and new.

Saponaria bouncing bett (the original pink), with a great scent.

Cynoglossum (the blue stuff). Plant it once and it''s with you forever because the seeds are sticky - but it's stunning! Quite old, and also comes in pink..

Nicotiana alata (scented as we all know).

Campanula bernice. And Red Alert. The only new plant is Red Alert, and it actually has a mild scent.

This with a very old miscanthus you can't get anymore - silberfeil.

Old plants have textures and colors to that make them easy to mix. I love cool colors of varying intensity. The red keeps it from being dull. It's my gardening style. I really enjoy it.
