Elle’s Connecticut Garden

Beautiful plants inside and out

I ’m always mad when Elle Ronis sends in photos of her beautiful garden in Stamford , Connecticut . If you ’ve leave out previous posts , you’re able to see some here : Flowers Big and SmallandShrubs for High - Impact , downcast - workplace horticulture .

In spring , an ahead of time - bloom yellow rose ( possiblyRosahugonis , Zones 5–9 ) combines perfectly with a showy peony ( Paeoniahybrid , Zones 3–8 ) .

AJapanese woodwind poppy(Glaucidiumpamatum , Zones 5–7 ) . This graceful perennial forshadeblooms with these heavy , lavender - puritanical flowers in the spring , and it keep its attractive foliation the rest period of the summer . well-fixed to grow anywhere , it does n’t get too hot during the summer .

slow plantings of hydrangeas , Hosta , and day lily make a beautiful carpet of industrial plant that fills the garden and leaves nowhere for roses to grow .

Another opinion of the repeated plantings . This compounding would do work in any thinly shaded garden , as long as you could protect the day lily andhostasfrom thirsty deer .

This double - flowered edition of the native bloodroot ( Sanguinariacanadensis , Zones 3–8 ) is a shade - loving perennial that bloom in the spring and then go dormant in the summertime . The regular frame has wide-eyed peak that quickly fade , but this form with surplus petals stays in bloom much longer . It will spread via rhizomes to make a nice chunk when happy .

An amazingchrysanthemum — with a very unusual and different form to these bloom !

A large show - way chrysanthemum . mark the ring hold the bloom . These huge show chrysanthemum command careful pruning and livelihood to produce maximally spectacular flowers .
