Planting for year-round beauty

My name is Stacy Ling . I am an devouring gardener and a lifelong resident of New Jersey . I have been married for 23 years to Chris , a forensic architect , and we have three teenage girls and two dogs . horticulture has been my passionateness for well over 20 years . in brief after deliver child , I became a original nurseryman and boom my home gardens , as well as helping some neighbour out along the manner . go a web log where I can share my passionateness is something I ’ve want to do for a farsighted time . I ultimately launched it almost a class ago .

I ’m sharing some photo of my front walkway garden . While I have several gardens , this one is designed to bloom throughout the growing time of year and attracts many pollinators . The grow time of year is wind down here .

In this garden isSedum‘Autumn Joy ’ ( Zones 3–9 ) , dahlias ( Zones 8–11 or as tender bulb ) , marigolds(Tagetessp . , annual),Euphorbia , Russian sage(Perovskia atriplicifolia , Zones 5–9 ) , pansies(Viola × wittrockiana , nerveless - time of year annual ) , and knockout roses(Rosa‘Radrazz ’ , Zones 4–9 ) , ornamental grasses , arborvitae(Thuja , Zones 3–7 ) , asters , ornamental kale(Brassicaoleracea , cool - time of year one-year / two-year ) , and overshadow Alberta spruce(Piceaglauca‘Conica ’ , Zones 3–6 ) .

To me , the unspoilt drop flora is ‘ Autumn Joy ’ sedum . I have been watching it throughout the growing season in my hebdomadal virtual garden turn on my blog . Although it is a perennial , it is a humbled - care , easy - care plant that provide yr - round interestingness . But you ca n’t beat the awing color variations during evenfall . When the flowers fade and dry out , I use them in outdoor winter containers , as well as go forth them up all winter for the snow to catch one’s breath upon . It is a tough - as - nail four - season industrial plant that is great for both novice and experienced gardener .

Sedum‘Autumn Joy ’ is a star in this garden .

A diverse concoction of shrubs , perennial , and annuals keep this garden exciting in every season .

Dahlias are often at their unspoiled at the end of the time of year , decently before the frost puts an goal to the show .

From this slant , the garden seems to be entirely filling the space in front of the door .

This all-encompassing aspect from the front shows how the beds surround and show off the beautifully adorn door .

The entry keep the smasher of autumn .
