Flower-filled cottage garden
We visited Tracy ’s beautiful East Bay , California , garden last week , where we focused on her teetotal garden plantings of cacti , succulents , and other works that thrive without supplementary water system . Today we ’re back to check out her beds withperennials , rose , and other plants that want a little more wet .
A wide view of this part of the garden depict lush planting and a scream of flower semblance . And a few succulents are turn in a low raised container . Succulents are a great choice forcontainersthat can dry out out quickly .
Alstromeria(hardiness vary by cultivar ) rosiness in the front of this bed . Their colorful , long - lasting flowers make them evenly grand cut flowers and garden plants .
A snapdragon ( Antirrhinumhybrid , Zones 7–10 ) grow hopeful orangish . Though unretentive - lived perennials , snapdragon are broadly grown — and give their best efflorescence — asannuals .
Roses loaded down with heyday develop along the fence . Rose foliage is famously susceptible to fungal diseases , which bring in them a great choice for dry climates , where the depressed humidity helps keep them healthier .
Ca n’t you almost smell this beautiful mount through the filmdom ?
A tall bearded iris ( Irishybrid , Zones 3–8 ) blooms in the foreground . Bearded iris flourish in a extensive range of climates , but they are also smashing drouth - tolerant choices for juiceless climate .
The typical form of edible corn poppy ( Papaverrhoeas , one-year ) is promising red in the wild , but many marvelous varieties in a range of colors are useable .
Blue honeywort ( Cerinthemajor‘Purpurascens ’ , one-year ) is a marvelous - reckon plantnativearound the Mediterranean . California ’s climate is quite similar , so this plant is a natural choice for a garden there .
I bed the way the color of the snapdragon and alstromeria in the foreground recall the colour of the rose bushes in the background knowledge absolutely . What a lovely garden !
