Perennials for the roses in the fairy garden

14 years ago

I'm putting in a "fairy" garden for my nieces. It's not a miniature garden, but one they can run around in, enjoy the flowers and have tea under a rose trellis.

I have 12 roses...two fairy roses, a Tamora, two Zephirine Drouhin, bleu magenta, two Belle de Crecy, two President de Seize, an old wild rose in the corner and a miniature rose by the bird bath. Since six don't repeat bloom, I'm looking for perennials and other flowers to plant with the roses to give some color later in the summer. I already have some butterfly bushes in the back corners, coneflowers and lavender, with violets around a bird bath. I'd like to add hollyhocks and maybe phlox and perennial geraniums. Are there any other ideas? The colors in the garden are mainly purple, pink, blue and white, although Tamora is peachy-pink.

Thank you for any suggestions and if you have any fun ideas for fairy-style gardens, please include them :)
