Last fall I dug a new flower bed, that would be only for white blooms. (Disregard rogue yellow daffodil…)
This summer I have planted a variety of perennials and annuals, and it is now filling out nicely.
The zinnia and alyssum are lovely together.
White cleome is striking and so interesting.
I found a few little white roses to tuck in.
Miss Manners Physostegia – Obedient Plant, which I hope stays obediently well sized.
The Acidanthera isn’t blooming yet, but a nice contrast in the bed with the spiky foliage.
The whitest daylily I could find.
White Cosmos and nicotiana sylvestris are coming along.
One nicotiana is starting to bloom.
There is also a gaura and a few white geraniums.
I love this mixture of perennials and annuals.
More work but definitely more bloom time, and I’m finding you need a lot of blooms for the white to make a statement.
Always fun to try something new in the garden.
