Notas del editor
- The overall theme for this design is Old Fashioned Country Garden. The client prefers old fashioned plants and has an interest of the garden attracting songbirds, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Her color preferences for the landscape are shades of red and white. Designed for the client, this design features plants that will not only attract wildlife, but will also be more sustainable than other typical plants.
- Foundation Porch Planting This planting is for the area near the front porch and will line the foundation of the house. Plants selected for this area are plants that are low-growing and can be seen over so that the porch is still accessible.
- Plants for the Main Front Planting Annuals: New Guinea Impatiens (Impatiens x hawkeri) Perennials: Coneflower (Echinacea ‘Tomato Soup’, ‘Hot Papya,’ ‘Milkshake’) Blazing Star (Liatris sp.) House leek (Sedum ‘Autumn Joy)
- Annual Color For this design, I have selected annuals that will be specific for summer color. New Guinea impatiens would be perfect for this site and have been trialed here before. New Guineas are also resistant to the powdery mildew that impatiens suffer from. The colors chosen for this area are fuchsia and red with white. The foliage for both are a dark red-green and fit in nicely with the colors that were chosen by the client.
- Perennial Color Chosen for this area are red and white coneflowers; Autumn Joy sedum, which was already in the landscape, but is now more repetitive; and white blazing star. The colors that the client requested are used in these plants and also provide nectar and seeds for birds and hummingbirds. These plants will also attract more bees to her landscape, which is something we talked briefly about in our interview because she would like to increase the pollination of some of the edibles on her property.
- The next part of the design is the implementation of a new bed in front of the house.
- This bed will draw the viewer’s eye down from the raised bed that is already in the landscape. The design of this new bed also incorporates plants from the foundation planting for more unity, which brings the design together through repetition. Plants: New Guinea Impatiens Butterfly bush Coneflowers (‘Hot Papya,’ ‘Tomato Soup,’ ‘Milkshake’) Hummingbird mint (Agastache ‘Red Fortune’) Daylily (‘Ruby Throat’) Bee balm Hydrangea (existing)
- Perennial Color This bed continues with some of the same plants from the foundation planting. These plants include red and white coneflowers and Blazing Star (Liatris).
- Perennial Color Other plants that are in this garden bed are red blooming perennials, such as Bee Balm, Day Lily, and Hummingbird Mint (Agastache). These types of plants attract wildlife such as butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
- Color from Woody Ornamentals Other plants in this bed include a butterfly bush and a hydrangea that is already planted in the landscape.
- Another bed that is in this design is a shady area near the foundation of the house. This area also has a view point from inside the house, which was taken into consideration.
- This bed was created to flow around the side of the house. On either side of the bed are existing azaleas, with a plan for another azalea to be planted beside one of the existing azaleas. This azalea is an Encore azalea, which has a mounding habit and grows to about 3’ high with a spread of 4’. North Carolina State University’s website says that this particular variety has 2” semi-double blooms that are pinkish purple with magenta flecking. Plants: Heuchera ‘Cherry Cola’ Wood’s Aster (‘Wood’s Pink’) Bleeding Heart (‘Luxuriant’) Foamflower Crested Iris Creeping phlox Southern Glory Encore Azalea
- Color from Perennials This area has some sunlight, but is has a great deal of shade due to the azaleas and the little nook of how the house was built. Some of the perennials in this part of the design are heuchera, wood’s aster, and bleeding heart.
- Color from Shady Perennials More perennials that are designed for this bed include foamflower, crested iris, and creeping phlox.
- The final part of this design is the raised bed that is built in a retaining wall. The retaining wall is dry-stacked with rock. It currently has English ivy and vinca planted in it. This design will replace the English ivy with more suitable plant material that isn’t invasive and will attract more wildlife. The plants are designed specifically for this space, which has limited space. This space will include two Catawba rhododendrons that are already in the landscape, as well as the vinca and rose. Plants: Trailing Rosemary Creeping thyme Helleborus Purple Smoke Tree (‘Purpureus’) Knock-out Rose (‘Radrazz’)
- Color from Shady Perennials The perennials for this space include trailing rosemary, creeping thyme, and helleborus. The rosemary and creeping thyme are perfect for the space because they will eventually cascade down the rock wall and will provide a great deal of color. The helleborus is an interesting plant that will bloom even when there’s snow or ice on the ground. It will also naturalize in the space for a more full look in the landscape.
- Other Color Other plants in this bed that will provide color are a purple smoke tree and another rose. The purple smoke tree has a spread of 12-15’ and a height of about 15’. This tree will provide year-round interested because of its unique foliage color and blooms. It will also provide shade for the rhododendrons, which are planted on their side. The rose is a red Knock-Out that is similar to the one that is already planted. The design includes two roses with a trellis in between them to provide more vertical space.
