What’s In This Bouquet: 

  • Handful of Rudbeckia, Zinnias and Cosmos. 
  • Loosely place in favorite vase. 
  • Tip: Cosmos are a loose and free flower with somewhat floppy stems, don’t fight this; allow them to  fall naturally.

Opposites Attract!

I love hydrangea! I love how they come in blues, purples, pinks and white. And I love that they are relatively easy to grow. But I hate that they don’t have a fragrance!  
Purple Basil has a fresh aroma and beautiful deep purple leaves. But it lacks showy flowers. However, the Basil’s dark purple foliage provides a strikingly perfect contrast to the blue/purple hydrangea blooms! They are complete opposites, but they make a perfect match! 

Pairing aromatic herbs with flowers that lack a strong scent can liven up any summer room! And your centerpiece can come in handy at dinnertime! Try Thyme or Rosemary with Zinnias, Daisys or Rudbeckia! 

Happy Gardening!
