In strolling about my garden, with a new camera in tow, I focused on finding interesting fall plant combinations. When I came upon some ruffled, silver/greenish leaved kale with maroon ribbing and stems juxtapositioned against the chartreuse leaves of a salvia that Nan mentioned in an earlier post (mine didn’t bloom either), I thought, yes, this combination is really worth noting: something that I used in my cutting gardening this year but that could easily be planted up in herbaceous borders. So, a thank you to Nan for reminding me that kale is certainly one of those great plants whose leaves can work with a whole range of plant colors, shapes and textures. And you can count on it to consistently give a garden an infusion of color straight through the fall.
Anyone else have some terrific kale combinations that you want to brag about? Go ahead! On this blog, you automatically are given bragging rights!
