This is a Cool Plant! Scilla peruviana.
After Visiting Amelia Lane’s Garden – Under the Loblolly Pines – one always leaves with a Lasting Impression! … And a list of Cool Plants!
This Saturday, in Raleigh – you can take home a Lasting Impression and Cool Plants!
Beautiful Tulipa clusiana sway under a light breeze along the driveway. These sweet tulips return year after year in zone 7 and multiply – when other blousey tulips are treated as annuals.
Lovely meandering paths filled with layered views of deciduous azaleas, Japanese Maples and the latest Redbud… Cercis ‘The Rising Sun.’
The lower gardens filled with Rhododendron ‘Alba’, Azaleas and spring ephemerals which burst into bloom on cue last weekend perfect to be featured on the Garden Conservancy Open Days Tour.
This lovely garden will be open again this Saturday!
We all know the that the early bird gets the worm. This Robbin is already waiting in a Dogwood – Under the Loblolly Pines.
Amelia & her business partner Beth will have their concrete leaves…
and hypertufa troughs for sale, along with a bevy of local crafts people…
