The summer containers are starting to fill out, and are coming into their own for the season. Here are a few shots from the cluster in the driveway at the Big House. It's in the shade most of the day, but the driveway has a whitewash over it, so it's very bright shade. The Australian Tree Fern has some beautiful new growth coming out, and we had a surprise Walking Iris bloom (typically we only see the blooms in winter in the greenhouse - I put the iris into this container for the texture of the leaves).
I think Dicksonia work brilliantly in pots.
ReplyDeleteThey have such a reputation for being tough, but are extremely effective if kept moist and somewhat shaded. I'm loving it so far!
ReplyDeleteLove the ferns. I'm teaching a class on container gardening this evening!
