The Sommerspiere blooms eponymous only in summer. You can therefore combine them with other summer bloomers or use their splendor to optically enhance rather dreary plant partners.
The requirements of the summer pier for its location must also be taken into account. Your companion plants should be on the same wavelength about this.
With its moderate growth height, numerous other plants go well with the Sommerspare. However, make sure that these are placed correctly in order to be able to come into their own.
Combine summer prickly pear in the bed or in the tub
At the edge of a bed or even in the middle as a solitaire, the Sommerspare feels in good hands and can play together with its plant neighbors. Both ground cover and perennials as well as smaller shrubs can harmonize with their appearance. Above all, however, you should make sure that it is combined with plants that have similar location requirements. In this way, companion plants with striking yellow, white and blue flowers in particular become valuable players in their presence.
These planting partners are particularly recommended for summer spars in beds or tubs:
- roses
- lavender
- clematis
- bluebells
- yellow loosestrife
- columbine
Combine summer spiers with floribunda
You can combine bed roses with the summer spar in a fantastic way. White bed roses, for example, which are framed with pink summer spars in the background, look very lovely. It becomes even more impressive and spectacular if you combine yellow bed roses with purple summer spikes.

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 beautifully expressed in the presence of summer spars. Blue columbines are particularly recommended for the combination with the summer spar.

Another ideal planting partner is lavender. It matches the summer pier in terms of its location requirements. In addition, with its long flower spikes, it creates an enchanting contrast to the umbel-shaped inflorescences of the summer spikes. Whether tone-in-tone or a combination of violet and pink - you can't go wrong with the color here.

Due to its medium height, the Sommerspare is perfect for low flowering hedges. 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. A composition of summer spar and yellow cinquefoil, for example, is heart-rendingly beautiful.

- Buddleia
- deutcia
- weigela
