white or moon garden
Comments (11)Up until about 5 years ago, I've always had a back yard "white garden". I came across Tabernaemontanas when I moved down here. They are the "want-a-be" jasmines. Crepe jasime, pinwheel jasmine, regulars and the drawf, and the double dwarfs (thanks David McLean). Then add in the white brugmansia(angel trumpets),Cypress Gardens, shredded white and the last one I planted was Super Nova - super big!! Throw in a couple of LaFrance white hibiscus. In the summer I'd plant white pentas, periwinkle Winter - the white inpatiens, petunias And for vines - white mandivillias, thunbergias. Then you start planting anything that has white in it. Varigated spider plants, transcantia, and liriope for edgeing. And than don't forget the hardscape. I Still have all 1200 (12"x12") white stepping stones. A white 7' wide x 16' long x 8' tall trellis that still has my ever-blooming poet's jasmine on it. And the back yard is still outline in white rope lights to light up the back yard when we need it. Why did I do it? I would come home at night and the back yard would be pitch black. Only a few "white" flowers showing. It became my quest for 35 years. I still have a lot of white throughout the garden, but the marroon jacaranda tree, bouganvillea tree, Hong Kong Orchid tree, potato tree followed me home. You know the rest..........Cheryl...See MoreAny Hudson Valley white/evening themed gardens?
Comments (29)Thank you. When we bought our house there were just lily of the valley, mint everywhere, a white azalea and an orange azalea. I remember just starting out too, that was 10 years ago this August. Now we have a border along the driveway under some oak trees that is about 50' long x an irregular 10 foot curvy, a front and rear foundation planting, a front bed, the white island,a rear path and patio (under works) a new corner garden just started, and we are clearing the edges of our propery on the other side of a small stream. The propery is only 3/4 acre, but we still have a lot of room for more gardens. I am thinking of putting in a new white bed in the backyard, I have kind of learned a little since the first one (not to put a white garden under trees, the moonlight doesn't always hit it with a full canopy of leaves above) and it would be nice to sit out back at night and or just look out the window and watch the moon glow..By then I will probably be dividing up some of the perennials in the original white garden. It is fun to try and find new white flowers to keep the garden looking white all season long....See MoreWhite Rock East Garden Tour May 18, 2014

Comments (35)Just a quick update! Joan Senior was the first to bloom, I think it bloomed around 6/23. It is still blooming nicely. The flowers are nice but on the smaller side compared to what I would like. About a week later, I think maybe 7/1, Snowy Apparition started to bloom. This one is honestly my favorite. It is nice and tall with large blooms, and it has smooth (not ruffled edges), which I prefer. Then, two days ago (7/6), Lime Frost started to bloom! I was shocked as it is a lot earlier than I expected. Based on what I have seen, I think I will try to add some like Snowy Apparition, perhaps Ice Carnival. I still need some EE!
