Julie’s Georgia Garden in Summer and Fall, Part 1

A hot, dry summer doesn’t stop this Southern garden from shining in the late season

glad Monday GPODers !

We ’re start out the week with an update from Julie Prince in southwest Georgia . Julie has shared her fabulous garden in summertime and go down before ( watch out those submissions here : Julie ’s Georgia GardenandJulie ’s Garden in Late Summer and Fall ) , and I ’m thrilled that we ’re let an update on how her space go on to grow and develop .

This is Julie Prince in Albany , Dougherty County , Georgia . I am sending this compilation of icon taken mostly late summer through present ! There are quite a few pic to opt from , so use your favorite .

We endured quite a hot , dry summer this twelvemonth and are still very ironic . TheLimelight hydrangeas(Hydrangea paniculata‘Limelight ’ , Zones 4–8)dropped all leaves during the week that the day-to-day heat index number ranged from 108 ° to 112 ° despite casual watering . The leaves of many perennial scorch . uncalled-for to say , we are savor some cool weather even though it ’s still warmer than normal for mid November .

Julie has shared these unbelievable ‘ Black Stockings ’ fountain grasses ( Pennisetumx ‘ Black Stockings ’ , Zones 8–11 or as an yearly ) in previous submissions , and they never disappoint . Their height and vast , arc leaves are so entrancing that even Julie ’s blackguard seems to be admiring !

Julie also creates beautiful container plantings . In this pot , silvery dusty miller is a perfect backcloth for a adorable , light pinkish geranium .

The color combination of silvery foliage and pinkish flowers make another appearance in this bottom of bright pink canna .

Julie has so many show stopper plant life in her garden , but one of my personal favorites is this variegated blue trumpet vine ( Thunbergia grandiflora‘Variegata ’ , Zones 8–11 or as an annual ) that rick a slow chain radio link fence into something outstanding .

Another scene full of pretty pink ! A cloud of pink muhly grass ( Muhlenbergiacapillaris , Zones 7 - 10 ) looks heavenly above a flurry of purple - pink Mexican ling ( Cupheahyssopifolia , Zones 8 - 11 ) .

But Julie has so much more than just pink in her planting . This gay compounding of yellow mums and amber lantana is a rattling brilliant spot .

Green also makes a sensational appearance in Julie ’s garden . Oxalis , hopeful unripened sedum , and celestial bamboo ( Nandinadomestica , Zones 6 - 9 ) are a great presentation of the diversity and interest useable in immature foliage .

Julie has interminable creative thinking with her container . Putting this beautiful bowl on top of a pedestal made it that much more interesting . Covering the billet with that stunning blue trumpet vine brings it over the top !

Julie is able to blend in colors , textures and forms in such an disingenuous way . The longer you look at this bed , the more plants and unbelievable combination you find .

This is a public service announcement that more people postulate to plantconifers in containers ! This tiny arborvitae is simple but imposing above a ocean of ‘ Purple Prince ’ genus Alternanthera ( Alternantherabrasiliana‘Purple Prince ’ , Zones 9 - 11 or as an one-year ) .

Julie sent in so many amazing pic , we ’ll be back in her gorgeous garden tomorrow . Have a lovely day , and desire to see you there !
