Dahlia – ‘Encore’

Gardens / September 16, 2013 by jennyrosecarey / Leave a Comment

Dahlias become more beautiful as the weather changes in the fall. Great for cutting.

Northview Blooms. A few of the flowers from the garden including sweetpeas, lilies, Cleome - spider flower, mountain mint, honeysuckle, and more. The fragrance is incredible. Sorry I can’t include it.

Lily time here at Northview. I turned the corner and the powerful fragrance wafted on the late day air. Conca D’Or lilies are lemony yellow and white. They usually self support if grown in full sun with little or no added fertilizer. A top dressing of organic matter every now and then could be helpful. Ours are in a row behind the cutting garden fence. We pair them with the light and airy purple Thalictrum or Meadowrue, and the upright spikes of Anise hyssop for a yellow, white, and purple combination. I wish that I could share the fragrance with you.

Columbines have beautiful diversity of form and color. Here are some of the ones at Northview this year. Easy to grow from seed - either sown in winter milk jugs ( see Beforeyougarden blog post) or directly onto bare soil or gravel. I love the pink one with white ruffles. Which one do you like?

White daffodils in a mixed flower bed. We call it

White daffodils in a mixed flower bed. We call it the Book Bed because we used it as a trial area for writing my book - The Ultimate Flower Gardeners Guide. Snowdrops begin the year followed by hyacinths and early daffodils. Now there are mid to late season daffodils, white muscari, and honesty/ silver dollar. Next peonies, columbine and foxgloves. In the summer - Agastache, phlox, feverfew, and Thalictrum. Hardy chrysanthemums round out the year. All of these plants coexist in the Book Bed and pop up seasonally to provide months of flowery interest. I hope that this inspires you to make your own mixed bed. Buy my books for more information. I have a new bulb book coming out this September.

Do you have a sunny well-drained bank? Try growing

Do you have a sunny well-drained bank? Try growing Creeping Phlox - Phlox subulata. Here it is growing between rocks and mulched with small river gravel. Paired with yellow early-blooming dwarf bearded Iris. This is the cultivar ‘Thrice Blessed’.
(This phlox is different from the woodland phlox that needs shade).

Primrose Day 19th April - honoring the British Prime Minister - Benjamin Disraeli who died on this day in 1881. I rushed out when I remembered as the sun was setting on my primroses. The first and last are a Hose-in-hose type that appears to have two flowers tucked together.

Today’s the day. I planted my lovely bright pink wave petunias. Try them in containers and put the right by your door. Easy to grow flowers that bloom and bloom all summer. Snip them back slightly to make the plant bushy. Water when the top of the potting soil is dry.

Philadelphia Flower Show Entrance Garden 2025. I love the colors, the plant choices, the scents and the welcome to the floral feast that awaits you. This show is nearly 200 years old and provides a gathering place for 10 days in late winter for gardeners, floral designers, and garden lovers to gather, show their creativity, and expertise. There are still a few more days to see this once a year extravaganza. I am lecturing today at noon. Come see me there.
