More sun means new garden opportunities
My name is Michael Follose , and since my last submission(Michael ’s Garden in OregonandReturning to a Garden After Almost a Decade),I’ve had two birch(Betula)trees removed , include one that I engraft 45 geezerhood ago . My married man , Don , and I built a new picket fence out front and terraced some of that surface area with more lava rock music , partly to cover their massive root organization with land . We ’ve also prompt thehostasandhellebores(that were now in direct sunlight ) to other garden . We ’ve spent the last couple of years institute the area to give it acottage gardenfeel . Here in Powell Butte , Oregon , we are now considered to be in Zone 6 , but we still choose our flora as if we were in Zone 5 .
Our two diseased birch trees being remove in 2019
Tulips(Tulipahybrids , Zones 3–8 ) and daffodils(Narcissushybrids , Zones 3–8 ) in the spring blooming in the country where the birches used to be .
This view from the sidepatioshows a newly planted sphere .
This exposure depict the newfangled garden expanse , with Nipponese forest grass(Hakonechloamacra , Zones 5–9 ) , petunias(Petuniahybrids , Zones 10–11 or as annual ) , and seraphic potato vine(Ipomoeabatatas , Zones 10–11 or as an yearly ) .
The asters(Symphytotrichumsp . ) and goldenrod(Solidagorugosa‘Fireworks ’ , Zones 4–8 ) really put on a show in the fall .
These are foxgloves(Digitalispurpurea , Zones 4–8 ) that westarted from seminal fluid .
The David Austin rose ‘ Princess Alexandra of Kent ’ is luxuriate on the full sun provide by the removal of the birch trees .
Self - seed snapdragons(Antirrhinum majus , Zones 7–10 or as a cool - time of year annual )
The pond in late summer is bordered with perennial blooming in hot shade of orange and yellow .
‘ Happy Returns ’ daylily(Hemerocallis‘Happy return ’ , Zones 3–9 ) is grown mostly for its very prospicient blooming time of year and flabby yellow flower , but the color as it break dormant in the pin is middling nice too !
