Late Summer in Kevin’s Garden

Layers of garden beauty

My name is Kevin Kelly , and I garden in Harrisburg , Pennsylvania ( Zone 6b ) . My belongings is on 1/3 acre in a suburban neighborhood . I have lived here for 25 geezerhood . My garden is my place to relax and plug into with nature . I have teach the importance of layering , texture , and repetition to make what I think is a pleasing aim . Here are some photograph of the garden as we are about to insert into autumn . The garden fared well over the summertime , as we had abundant rain . Enjoy the images .

Here is an image of the front garden . This is on the north side of the house and gets the most sun . The grass serves mostly as a track . I have plant out most of the cartoon strip between the sidewalk and the bridle .

Hydrangea paniculataWhite Diamonds ® (Zones 3–9 ) take care awesome into September . The blooms were white in other July .

Combination of ageratum(Ageratum houstonianum , annual ) , mangave(Agavehybrid , Zones 8–10 ) , and cryptomeria(Cryptomeriajaponica , Zones 5–9 )

I planted this combination ofRudbeckia‘American Gold Rush ’ ( zone 3–9),Liriope muscari‘Variegata ’ ( geographical zone 5–10 ) , andPanicum virgatum‘Ruby Ribbons ’ ( Zones 3–9 ) along the pavement to be bask by those passing by .

Pennisetumsetaceum‘Rubrum ’ ( zone 9–10 or as an annual)glowing in the arrange Lord’s Day

I recall this trope ofEutrochium purpureum‘Little Red ’ ( Zones 4–9 ) andSambucus nigra‘Black Lace ’ ( zone 4–7)shows the importance of layering as part of a design .

Hylotelephium‘Purple Emperor ’ ( Zones 3–9 ) andMelampodium divaricatum(Zones 2–11 )

Nasella tenuissima(Zones 6–10),Gaillardia(annual or abruptly - lived perennial ) , Lemon Coral ® sedum(Sedum mexicanum‘Lemon Coral ’ , Zones 7–11 or as an annual ) , and New Guinea impatiens(Impatienshawkeri , Zones 10–11 or as an annual )

This was a full - tint garden until three eld ago when I took down twoCallery pears(Pyrus calleryana , Zones 5–9)due to their trespassing nature . I have been reworking this surface area into a pollinator garden .

Solidagoanddinosaur kale(Brassica oleracea , annual ) create a captivating compounding of texture and color dividing line .
