1 With forget-me-nots: Tulipa 'White Triumphator', Myosotis and Digitalis purpurea f. albiflora
Precise massed rows of tulips, underplanted with forget-me-nots, is a late-spring classic often used in formal bedding schemes. Here, the same plants are used more informally — with the elegant outlines of white tulips appearing sparingly among a haze of frothy Myosotis.
The bulky foliage of emerging foxgloves provides a solid backdrop against which to view the clean shape of the lily-flowered tulips, as well as offering welcome respite from the urge to count the hundreds of tiny blue flowers that make up the carpet of forget-me-nots. These white foxgloves will flower in June, continuing the vertical interest and colour contrast through the scheme as the tulips begin to fade.
