Vivid imagination

This combination mixes textures and colours for dramatic effect. The subtle blue-grey foliage of the festuca and the lotus provides the backdrop to the exotic orange and red flowers of the lotus and begonias. Plant the festuca in the garden or a pot in autumn. Trim the trailing stems of the lotus, pot it up and keep in a frostfree place over winter for next year.
