Plant Lover’s Garden in Indiana

Diverse perennials for color and interest

We ’re visiting Lilli Hazard ’s garden in Fishers , Indiana , today .

I have it off horticulture and caught the disease that give me my green thumb from my female parent when I was about 10 years old . She and I would centre through catalogs find fault out those extra flowers that would be added to our landscape . Now I do the same on my own .

Through the years I ’ve become very interested innative plants , and I seek to add them to my suburban garden wherever I can .

I love mixture . Here is a sample of what I have . Most are perennials .

The airy plumes ofAstilbe(Zones 4–8 ) blossom . These perennials do well in shade and prefer dirt that does n’t dry out out . If you have the right spot for them , they can be one of the showiestshade perennialsout there .

A cream — almost white — daylily ( Hemerocallishybrid , Zone 4—9 ) bloom . Daylilies come in nearly every color of the rainbow , but none of them are quite on-key bloodless .

Anotherdaylily , this one in a pinkish shade .

Atree peony(Paeoniahybrid , Zones 4–8 ) . Tree paeony are n’t really tree , but they do produce woody stems to take shape a bush over time . They produce larger flowers that herbaceous peony , and their strong , woody stem do n’t usually take staking to keep them from fall over .

Butterfly weed(Asclepiastuberosa , Zones 3–9 ) is probably the showiest of the aboriginal milkweeds . It is , of course , one of the legion works for monarch butterflies , and one of the brightest blooms of the summertime .

A beautiful and healthy rose , this looks like it might be the mixture ‘ At Last ’ ( Zones 5–9 ) , which vaunt greatfragrance , disease ohmic resistance , and this wonderful color .

A hardy hibiscus ( Hibiscushybrid , Zones 5–9 ) with a clump ofzinnias(Zinniaelegans , annual ) behind it . Hardy herbaceous hibiscus like this are crossbreed of species native to eastern North America and bluster some of the largest prime of any rough-cut garden industrial plant . New breeding has produce variety that stay shorter and have showy , dark foliage , making them even right garden flora .

In a shady part of the garden , an refined lady fern ( Athyriumfilix – feminaZones 4–8 ) . This specie of fern is native throughout northern North America , Europe , and Asia .
