Anticipating the joys of spring and summer
Today we ’re visiting Susie Talbot ’s garden , reliving some beautiful moments of spring and summer .
Tulipsafire ! Sunlight coming behind these blooms sets them off with consummate magic . I want to recreate this in my garden next year , so I ’m going to go out when the tulips are in blossom and see where the sun is so that I can plant some tulip in the veracious post next fall . I always like to make my capitulation electric-light bulb - planting program in the spring , because by the time fall get here , I do n’t think what the spring garden looked like !
Bearded iris blooms over a blue cloud of forget - me - not ( Myosotissylvatica , Zones 3–8 ) . Other perennials are push up to post on the show .
A beautiful I. F. Stone wall makes a calm backcloth to the garden .
June in the garden is a riot of colouration , with so many perennial at their peak . A dauntless geranium ( probablyGeranium‘Karmina ’ , Zones 5–8 ) dominates in the bed in the front , filling it with pinkish flowers and a sturdy , weed - smothering undercoat cover of foliage .
A mellifluous combination of tulips is in the softest of pastel pure tone . Their fragile beauty make a wonderful direct contrast to the sheer Stone behind them .
Spring ! A pinkish cornel ( Cornusflorida , Zones 5–9 ) presides over the garden to the odd , while tulips satiate the beds with color .
Later in the time of year the garden has filled in more , and a rabbit has come up to visit .
Virginia bluebells ( Mertensiavirginica , Zones 3–8 ) bloom behind a masses ofEpimedium×versicolor‘Sulphureum ’ ( Zones 5–9 ) . The epimedium has wonderful pallid yellow flower , but the soft leafage that emerges flush with bolshy may be the most appealing scene of this perennial in the natural spring . Despite their soft visual aspect , epimediums are tough plants , well - have intercourse for their power to thrive in dry shade .
