The summer spar is extremely popular for low flower hedges, bed borders, but also for pots. The reason is not only their manageable growth, but above all their glittering umbel flowers. It expresses itself wonderfully in interaction with other plants.
Which plants can you combine the summer spar with?
To stylishly combine the summer spars, partner plants such as roses, lavender, clematis, bluebells, wildflower and columbine are suitable. Pay attention to similar location requirements and complementary flower colors for a harmonious overall picture.
What factors should you consider when combining summer spars?
If you want to create a real eye-catcher, you should pay attention to a few aspects when combining summer spars:
- Flower color: pink, pink or violet
- Flowering time: July to September
- Location requirements: sunny, nutrient-rich and humus-rich soil
- Growth height: 60 to 100 cm
The summer spar, which gives it its name, only blooms in summer. You can therefore combine them specifically with other summer bloomers or use their splendor to visually enhance dull plant partners.
The requirements of the summer spar for its location must also be taken into account. Your companion plants should be on the same wavelength in this regard.
With its moderate height, numerous other plants go well with the summer spar. However, make sure that they are placed correctly so that they can be shown to advantage.
Combine summer spars in the bed or in the bucket
The summer spar feels at home at the edge of a bed or even in the middle as a solitary plant and can interact with its plant neighbors. Ground cover and perennials as well as smaller shrubs can harmonize with their appearance. On the surface, however, you should make sure that it is combined with plants that have similar location requirements. In particular, striking yellow, white and blue flowering companion plants become valuable players in their presence.
These planting partners are particularly recommended for summer spars in beds or pots:
- Roses
- Lavender
- Clematis
- Bluebells
- Goldfelberich
- Aquilegia
Combine summer spar with floribunda rose
You can combine floribunda roses with the summer spar in a fantastic way. For example, white floribunda roses, framed by pink summer spars in the background, look very lovely. It becomes even more impressive and spectacular if you combine yellow floribunda roses with purple summer spars.
Combine summer spar with columbine
The columbine goes perfectly with the summer spar. It has similar advantages when it comes to the question of the ideal location. In addition, their delicate flowers are even more beautiful in the presence of the summer spars. Blue columbines are particularly recommended for combination with the summer spar.
Combine summer spar with lavender
Another ideal planting partner is lavender. It fits the summer spar in terms of its location requirements. In addition, its long flower spikes create a stunning contrast to the umbellate inflorescences of the summer spar. Whether tone-on-tone or a combination of purple and pink - you can't go wrong when it comes to color.
Combine summer spars in the hedge
The summer spar is ideal for low flowering hedges due to its medium height. It can either be combined with trees that bloom at the same time or with a time delay so that the hedge looks attractive for a longer period of time. For example, a composition of summer spar and yellow cinquefoil is heart-stoppingly beautiful.
