Joanne’s Nova Scotia Garden

Dallies and more

Today we ’re impose Joanne Eddy ’s garden .

Our property is just outside Halifax , Nova Scotia , and when we bought the house , it was basically a big blank slate . A few trees were on the prop itself , but they were wall by woods on the bound to give groovy privacy . I started all the garden from mark , and my main focus has been daylilies(Hemerocallishybrids , hardiness varies by cultivar , but generally Zones 3–9 ) . I ’m part of the Nova Scotia Daylily Society ; however , I really wish to make gardens that see good in the off - season too ( wintertime are long in Nova Scotia ) , so when my perennials fade in the fall , that bigfront gardenstill has structure from theevergreensandhydrangeas . I also do n’t institute only daylilies , I endeavor to immix them with other perennial to give more interestingness , color , and texture to the garden infinite . I have far too many approximation and not enough time , as I have a untried girl and she needs me too . I ’m also a member of the Hammonds Plains Area Garden Club ( clapperclaw out to them ) .

I ’m essentially ego - teach . My mummy always had flowers , and I mean when we bought this house in 2008 it was a no - brainer that I ’d garden the heck outta the yard . There are still many more garden beds to be made , but I ’m happy to have a lot more to do and to exposit .

Daylilies are putting on their summer show . In the bottom left corner is the mixture ‘ Emerging Star ’ .

Hemerocallis‘Driftglass ’ is one of Joanne ’s favorites . Behind it is soft icteric threadleaf coreopsis ( Coreopsisverticillata‘Moonbeam ’ , Zones 3–9 ) .

In summer , the garden is filled with flowers , but you may also see the various shrubs that ensure there is still anatomical structure andinterest in wintertime .

‘ Royal Charm ’ day lily is usually one of the first to blossom in the garden .

‘ Spotted Fever ’ is an strange daylily variety with double petals and a speckled coloring material .

One of the with child things about daylilies is their sheer variety of flower . This ‘ White Juan ’ has a altogether different build than ‘ spotty Fever ’ .

It is n’t all daylilies . TheseSiberian iris(Irissibericahybrids , Zones 3–8 ) are gorgeous .

In fall , trees and shrubstake over for the perennials .

On this Nova Scotia winter day , the garden shed and bush see dreamy hide with snow , while the daylilies take a breather underground until summer return .
