A closeup look at the Boxwood shade gardens
The Boxwood shade gardens at our house, which flank the front steps, are the final vision for our replacement of the original Yew hedges that were here when we bought our house. I’ve blogged about them before, but wanted to provide some links to images and show the original plan we worked from.
- Jacob’s Ladder
- Claret Masterwort
- Helleborus Gold Bullion
- Lady’s Mantle
- Mixed Columbine
- Merrybells
- Liriope
- Liriope ‘Big Blue’
- Blue Wonder Toad Lily
- Matsukaze Toad Lily
- Poppy ‘Blue Himalayan’
Each item on the list above is linked so you can see what all the flowers will look like. Randye even created a plot plan for us to work with in order to maximize the season color from early spring to early winter. That way, there will be visual interest for the better part of the year. Here’s what they will look like from a planning standpoint.
