Inspired by English-style gardening
Today ’s photograph are from Cathy Hollis in Englewood , Colorado .
When my husband and I moved to this home in the suburbs of Denver 10 old age ago , the landscaping was almost exclusively grass . We envisioned a Colorado version of an English border garden ( my hubby is from England ) . We need to create a garden that is beautiful and coloured for all seasons while being more water - wise . The backyard borders open up space and a pocket-size farm , with perspective of the mount as a incentive feature . The leaping garden showcases a variety of tulips that accent a ground ofEuphorbiapolychroma(Zones 5–9 ) . We have many variety of rose wine , including Morden Centennial Canadian rose bush , Knock Out roses , Flower Carpet flat coat cover rose , and teatime roses . Perennial favorites such asNepeta‘Walker ’s Low ’ ( Zones 3–8),Salvia‘May Night ’ ( Zones 4–9),Heliopsis(Zones 3–9 ) , PowWow Wild Berry coneflower(Echinaceahybrid , Zones 3–8),Geranium‘Rozanne ’ ( Zones 5–8 ) , andSedum‘Autumn Joy ’ ( Zones 3–9 ) keep the garden coloured all time of year .
latterly - flowering ‘ Hocus Pocus ’ tulips(Tulipa‘Hocus Pocus ’ , Zones 3–8 ) stand tall against a backdrop ofEuphorbia polychromaand a large stone fountain loved by the hoot .
Lily - flowering Mariette tulip and ‘ Royal Raindrops ’ crabapple(Malus‘Royal Raindrops ’ , Zones 4–8 ) anchor the background , with moreEuphorbiain the foreground .
Morden Centennial Canadian rose bushes surround the lamp post .
In the backyard are climbing roses ‘ William Baffin ’ and blue flowering ground coverVeronica‘Trehane ’ ( Zones 4–8 ) .
The back garden path to the pergola includes tall yellowEremurusbungei(Zones 4–8 ) on the left , with various bush and tea rose wine tot up color . The chartreuseVeronica‘Trehane ’ lies in front of the Montgomery spruce(Piceapungens‘Montgomery ’ , zone 3–7 ) .
In the courtyard garden off the patio , the line in plant grain is a focusing .
In this view of the backyard from the patio , a compact Sherwood pine tree ( Pinus mugo‘Sherwood ’ , Zones 2–7 ) is seeable in the foreground .
The side thou path is border by Hidcote lavender(Lavandula‘Hidcote ’ , Zones 4–10 ) , with smokebush(Cotinus coggygria , Zones 4–8),Heliopsis‘Summer Sun ’ ( zone 3–8 ) , and delphiniums(Delphiniumelatum , geographical zone 3–7 ) .
A seven sons tree(Heptacodiummiconioides , Zones 5 – 9 ) provides an accent to the backyard garden . Perennials admit the showy flower of a ‘ Bartzella ’ peony(Paeonia‘Bartzella ’ , Zones 4–9 ) in the back on the proper side .
The court garden featuresblue spruce(Picea pungens , Zones 3–7 ) shrubs ‘ Montgomery ’ and ‘ St. Mary ’s Broom ’ , along with various priming coat natural covering .
