Yesterday, Carla Zambelli shared with us the abundance of spring in her Malvern, Pennsylvania, garden, and today we’re back to enjoy more of the beauty of this time of year.
New weigela breeding has emphasized small, compact forms, often with colorful foliage, but it’s hard to beat the rich display of flowers in large forms like this beautiful old-fashioned weigela.Vigila Floridazones 5-9) that produce a spring of flowers each spring.
I can almost smell that beautiful old rose through the computer screen!
peonies (Paeonia hybrids, zones 3–8) come in a wide range of colors, and this deep, rich red is particularly striking.
This really unusual peony flower looks like cultivar ‘Green Lotus’, with interesting split petals for a completely different look.
A perfect, fragrant cluster of lilac (Siringa sp., zones 3-8) blooms.
The cascading flowering branches of weigela fall into beautiful foliage of ostrich ferns (Matteuccia struthiopteriszones 3–7) and a Japanese maple (Acer palmatumzones 5–9).
Another stunning vintage rose, with layer upon layer of pink petals.
Layers of plants make up the landscape of this garden. Baptisia (Zones 3-9) are now blooming.
