Description:

Rich colors, herbal fragrances and graceful grasses

Lauren has designed this garden to highlight the beautiful colors and enticing textures that are possible when perennial plants and ornamental native grasses are planted together. The colors of the long-blooming perennials in this garden are a delightful blend of rose pink, soft orange, coral and blue. Artemisia ‘Seafoam’ and the three grasses give the garden soft textures and winter appeal with their foliage and interesting seed heads.

The “Colors and Textures” Garden is an easy-care, low-maintenance garden that thrives in a wide range of climates.
