For this simple composition of Fringed Bleeding Heart, Fern, and Sweet Woodruff, I created the illusion of a violet mat which is actually a graphic composed of a simple octagon filled with color and surrounded by lines of varying widths and shades.
Although the lovely flowers on my Bleeding Heart are mostly gone, I can work with the foliage for the whole season as long as I harvest judiciously.
