These views looking toward the area I showed you in the last post, may help you remember which garden this is:
slightly further back giving you a view of the mossy rocks that I love:
I like the yellow color of the hostas in autumn. I am leaving hostas here as they will grow in shade.15 feet further back:
I think the dead wild fern foliage looks good with the fall colors.
the very end of this 100-foot garden looking toward arbor 3:
Both ends of the rockwall garden are flanked with large maple trees.
As you can see, there is not much planted on this end. I put the Alberta Spruce's in a few years ago.
This end is shady due to the two large pine trees. I will need to research shrubs/grasses that will grow in shady areas. Right now I am still trying to get rid of the gazillion perennials I had here. It all takes time! I would welcome ideas for shrubs that will grow in a mostly shady area.
Yesterday I planted the dwarf fountain grass 'hameln' at the opposite end of this garden.
The few seed heads that are left, make a nice foreground to the burning bush. I can't wait until next year to see how it looks when it's a bit larger.
Oh I think the fountain grass looks great in front of the burning bush! Great eye!
ReplyDeletelove your fall colors Zoey....
ReplyDeleteThe fountain grass looks very nice in front of the burning bush. I love the maple trees too.
ReplyDeleteReally like these photos. Love the rocks, make sure you don't let them be hidden by something. Love what you are doing here but you are right it will take a while with it being that big. I'd leave the Hosta and Ferns also. They always compliment everything.

It still all looks so wonderful, Zoey, and all your hard work is paying off:) I love the ferns when they turn brown like that...in one of the pictures I had posted a few days ago, it shows a lot of that brown fern, just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend my friend! xoxo
Yes...autumn is setting in. Your gardens are looking great.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for the cooler temps. I have the work you are doing to get accomplished soon.
Those red leaves are so striking in your garden Zoey. Just beautiful!
