Monticello in Spring

Greetings from Charlottesville!



'Arizona Red Shades' Gaillardia
























Reliable 'Becky' Shasta daisies brighten perennial beds, mediate colors, and makes colors "pop."

'Going Bananas' daylily is an improved 'Happy Returns.' Prolific and low-management.

'Walker's Low' catmint









Punctuate the color triad SPARINGLY with silvery catmints such as 'Walker's Low."



Then, add a MINIMAL dash of Coreopsis 'Moonbeam.'





Finally, focus your composition with a single, TASTEFUL work of garden art. The wrong selection will destroy all your hard work, so ALWAYS go with something classic such as a reproduction Green Man plaque for wall or tree.
