Returning to a lovely space
Arianne gardens in asmall city lotin chilly Minneapolis ( Zone 4B ) and fills her space with an copiousness of beautiful flowers . Even more imposingly , she grows many of herplants herself from seed .
note of dark red and burgundy combined with atomic number 79 leafage are restate many times in this image , making this garden finger interconnected and well designed . The flowers in the foreground are a beautifulAstilbe(Zones 4–9 ) .
It is n’t just beautiful heyday in Arianne ’s garden ! This smallapple treeis loaded with make grow yield . While many apple tree grow very big , there are alsodwarf varietiesthat can fit well into a small urban garden .
Each of these wad of plants is multiplecontainersplanted andgrouped together , which is a great path to make a whole garden inpots . The promising ruddy door add together a tidy sum to the scene , as does the finespun leaf of a tiger eyes sumac ( Rhustyphina‘Bailtiger ’ , zona 4–8 ) to the left hand .
The same horizon , but in the evening . It ’s astonishing how different plants look in the different light . It ’s like a whole Modern garden !
I love this container — how the warm pink tones of the vinca ( Catharanthusroseus , Zones 10–11 or as an one-year ) replication thepinktones in the variegation of the canna ( Cannahybrid , Zones 8–11 or as a tender bulb ) .
Moss roses ( Portulacagrandiflora , Zones 10–11 or as an annual ) are unremarkably grown as anannual . They combine beautiful flower with succulent , drought - tolerantfoliage .
Balloon efflorescence ( Platycodongrandiflorus , Zones 4–9 ) is an easy - to - originate perennial with wonderful purple - blue bloom that last over a tenacious period in summer .
Among the beautiful plants behind the majuscule heap of balloon flower , I peculiarly screw the vary geranium ( Pelargoniumhybrid , Zones 10–11 or as an one-year ) .
Brobdingnagian , red-faced hardy hibiscus ( Hibiscushybrid , Zones 5–9 ) shows off in the summertime garden .
A little path line with beautiful plants leads to the wonderful garden beyond !
