Best of the New Additions of 2021

Bonnie’s favorites

Today we ’ve got some photos from Bonnie Plikaytis .

Greetings from a North Georgia Zone 7 garden . Every year I care to review my garden photo to determine the “ best in show ” of the Modern garden additions . Here are a few photos of some of the undecomposed in 2021 .

Agapanthus are of course deer resistant , which is a bounteous plus for a forest garden . The Little Galaxy hybrid ( zone 6–10 ) is a perennial that likes lots of sun and blooms in midsummer . The compact habit makes for a sturdy plant with beautiful indigo - colored flowers . Once the flowers fade , the spiky globelike seedpods provide continued pursuit in wintertime .

Cardinal flower(Lobelia× speciosa‘Starship Scarlet ’ , Zones 6–10 ) is a bushy plant that blooms from midsummer to early nightfall . I keep it protected from deer in a wall terraced garden . It had beautiful spike of brilliant ruby bloom summertime into fall .

Ever Twilight agapanthus ( Zones 8–11 ) may be a little sensitive for a Zone 7b garden , but with heavy mulch , it should be fine through wintertime . Though it was planted in September on the out border of its bloom meter , it seems quite well-chosen in its newfangled domicile , as it is blossom in December !

I am rosy to have knowledgeable and generous gardening admirer . visit their garden helps expound my knowledge and want to diversify my plant assembling . ThisFuchsia‘Little peach ’ ( zone 8–10 ) is a natural endowment from one of my horticulture chum . I was beguiled by this plant , as I was not cognisant of hardy fuchsia plants , and its bloom of youth are exotic .

The Atlanta Botanical Garden ( ABG ) has outflow and fall online cut-rate sale offering an eclectic selection of plant that are often laborious to find in mainstream greenhouse . It is one of my preferent plant sales . This ‘ Fairy Coral Red ’ abutilon hybrid ( Zones 7–10 ) from the ABG sale has been blooming since I put it in the ground . A vulgar name for this flora is “ flowering maple , ” as the leaf shape is like that of maple tree .

Heliopsis‘Tuscan Gold’(Heliopsishelianthoides , Zones 4–9 ) , another ABG acquisition , is a compact upright perennial with yellowed blossom that are long - flower and cervid resistant .

Still another ABG leverage , Tricyrtisformosana(Zones 4–9 ) is a toad frog lily that has orchid - similar flowers that blossom in late summer and continue into November .

I was insert to theSnowflake hydrangea(Hydrangea quercifolia‘Brido ’ Snowflake , Zones 5–9 ) in a friend ’s garden . Hydrangeas in our community are also known as deer salad . Therefore , ours is in our terrace , fenced recurrent garden that also wait on as our click Cody ’s garden . This hydrangea is exquisite with its duple white-hot flower .

An extra striking feature of the Snowflake hydrangea is its leaves . Textured , deep lobed , and growing to 8 inches in length , they change state a beautiful Bolshevik to maroon color in the fall .

One advantage of ingest the hydrangea in William F. Cody ’s garden is that whenever he is outside , he acts as a sentinel for deer detection . He is always watch over , listening , and smelling , and once detected , he check that the deer know they are not welcome in the area . They esteem his monition . Wishing everyone glorious horticulture in 2022 !
