Inspiration
Shade/Woodland
There are lots of great new options for
low-light gardens, including plants with
variegated leaves and non-traditional colours
and textures. No longer are gardeners limited
to using dark green leafy plants in the shade.
This dwarf form creates a perfect mound of clean, dark green
foliage, with medium sky-blue flowers in early spring. Well
suited for smaller gardens and the border’s edge. Sun to
partial shade. Grows 25-30 cm (10-12 in.) tall.
Aquilegia ‘White Barlow’
‘White Barlow’
double columbine
Acanthus mollis Tasmanian AngelTM
Variegated bear’s breeches
The first variegated acanthus. Found in Tasmania, this gem
offers striking, bold leaves with white margins and mottling.
This plant forms a large clump of 90-120 cm (3-4 ft.) tall
ornamental flower stalks of pink and cream in late summer.
Tolerant of most soils, it thrives in deep, fertile, moist and welldrained conditions in full to partial shade.
Dahlia-like double white flowers pop in a shady location.
This double columbine grows 50-65 cm (20-25 in.) tall and
blooms in spring.
Athyrium ‘Ocean’s Fury’
‘Ocean’s Fury’ painted fern
Amsonia montana ‘Short Stack’
Dwarf bluestar
This plant is named because the habit and colouring
resemble ocean waves crashing on the shore. This upright
and crested fern from Thurman Maness is a wonderful
addition to lighten up shady areas, or in the woodland
garden. It prefers fertile, moist soils and full to partial shade.

perennials for shade/woodland
Bergenia ‘Solar Flare’
‘Solar Flare’ variegated bergenia
A new twist on a classic garden perennial, this plant has
bold evergreen leaves with a cream edged border that turns
brilliant shrimp pink during winter. It’s an excellent winter
container plant topped with pink flowers in the spring. Colour
appears on new growth in spring, fading to green in late
summer. Part shade to full sun.
Brunnera macrophylla ‘Mr. Morse’
‘Mr. Morse’ Siberian bugloss
starry flowers in summer change to green as the season
progresses. Unlike most other corydalis, ‘Chocolate Stars’
will tolerate dry shade. This is a good groundcover choice
and an excellent companion to other woodland plants such
as hostas, ferns, and primulas. Grows 30 cm (12 in.) tall in
partial to full shade. Photo courtesy of Vitro Westland.
Hakonechloa macra ‘Stripe It Rich’
Variegated gold
Japanese forest grass
Frosty, silver foliage with
light green veins and edging
combine perfectly with
creamy white flowers.
Brunnera have high deer
resistance, and prefers a
shady location. This cultivar
grows 25-37.5 cm (10-15 in.) tall.
Brunnera macrophylla ‘Spring Yellow’
‘Spring Yellow’ Siberian bugloss
White-striped golden leaves put a new spin on the shade
tolerant Hakonechloa. ‘Stripe It Rich’ grows vigourously in
full to partial sun. It is spectacular as a woodland accent in
containers, along pathways or entrances, and adds an Asian
look to the garden.
Heuchera Dolce® Blackcurrant
Dolce® Blackcurrant coral bells
Unusual yellow foliage with contrasting blue flowers. Grows
25-37.5 cm (10-15 in.) tall. Proven deer resistance.
Corydalis ‘Chocolate Stars’
Dolce® Blackcurrant boasts a two-toned leaf of bold purple
and sterling silver accents that make a dramatic statement
in beds or in containers. Vigorous and cold-hardy, colour
deepens as the weather cools. It does best in full to partial
shade and reaches a height of 30-40 cm (12-16 in.).
Heuchera ‘Georgia Peach’
‘Georgia Peach’ coral bells
‘Chocolate Stars’ corydalis
A gorgeous low growing woodland plant with chocolate
brown foliage in spring, reminiscent of coleus. Small white
| GARDEN INSPIRATION
This is a first in the new Southern Bell series of villosa hybrids
that were bred for heat and humidity tolerance. In spring, it
produces 20 cm (8 in.) peach coloured leaves with a showy
perennials for sun
silver overlay that creates a large, lush plant. The foliage
colour intensifies to rose purple with a decorative frosted veil
in fall and winter. Best in full to partial shade. Grows 35 cm
(14 in.) tall and spreads 60 cm (24 in.)
Campanula persicifolia ‘Blue-Eyed Blonde’

bells of deep-blue flowers.
Coreopsis tripteris ‘Lightning Flash’
A nearly all-gold form of ‘June’ with very narrow blue-green
margins and glossy golden foliage. Superb spring colour.
Good substance and slug resistance. An extremely hardy
hosta. Grows 40-60 cm (16-24 in.) high and wide in shade or
partial shade. Photos courtesy of Vitro Westland.
‘Lightning Flash’ tickseed
Sun
Sun-loving perennials are a staple in the
perennial border, but can also find a
comfortable home as colour accents or filler
in a shrub border or foundation planting.
Ajuga reptans ‘Toffee Chip’
‘Toffee Chip’ carpet bugleweed
‘Lightning Flash’ is a new bold tickseed with striking gold
foliage that stays gold all summer. It’s perfect for the perennial
border, reaching over 90 cm (3 ft.). It thrives in heat and
humidity. The yellow flowers are a bonus in late summer.
Does best in full sun.
Delphinium grandiflorum
‘Summer Morning’
‘Summer Morning’ delphinium
This small-leaved groundcover is a fun departure from Ajuga
‘Chocolate Chip’. Mature leaves have creamy gold margins
around shades of gray green in the centre. New leaves
display brown and khaki shades. Blue flowers bloom from
12.5 cm (5 in.) spikes. Grows 30 cm (12 in.) wide and 5 cm (2
in.) tall in full sun to part shade.
The Summer delphinium series brings the first pink
flowering grandiflorum type to the market with the breeding
breakthrough of ‘Summer Morning’. Like the pink skies of
an early summer sunrise, Delphinium ‘Summer Morning’
paints the landscape with its delicate, light pink flowers over
lacy green leaves. ‘Summer Morning’ is more heat tolerant
and better branched than other delphiniums of this type.
Early flowering, coupled with a strong, basal branching habit
ensures that ‘Summer Morning’ will provide a multitude of
flowers throughout the summer.

through rose and then back to purple, giving a full range
of simultaneous colours. It grows 50-60 cm (20-24 in.) tall

Backyard Ecotopia:
Sustainable landscaping
in your own backyard
Think Globally, Act Locally. Whether it’s saving rainwater,
conserving energy, recycling old construction materials,
landscaping with native plants and trees, or composting
kitchen scraps, you can do something worthwhile in your
own backyard to help conserve the natural environment in
your community. Many of us live in urban neighbor-hoods
and other built-up areas, so it’s no wonder that we often
forget the connection between the way we live and the
health of the natural environment. Yet the two are closely
linked. The actions we take and the choices we make in our
own backyards and gardens can mean healthier drinking
water, soils, air and wildlife — now, and for the future.
The Backyard Ecotopia garden at Canada Blooms (G-4)
features choices for backyard living that are both beneficial
for people and good for the natural environment, whether
that environment is upstream or downstream from where
you live or as far away as the Great Lakes. It demonstrates
how backyard gardeners can reduce waste, water and
energy consumption; produce nutrient-rich garden soils;
and create inviting backyard habitat for native species
of wildlife. Following the show, the components of this
garden feature will be donated to local conservation and
environmental education projects.
Vivid chartreuse leaves sport mahogany-red splashes. This
plant thrives in containers and shade gardens. A tender

old fashioned
romance
Cottage garden charm never goes out of style. The designers behind these
projects understand how landscapes can say “home,” to the eye,
as well as the heart. A garden gate marks the spot where family time begins.
Children remember the fragrance of old roses forever.
Informal plantings blend over time into compositions with perfect balance.

define a room
outdoors
Enlightened landscape design
starts with people. Make an
outdoor room for meals or
conversation, then let your
planning radiate out. The idea is
not new — formal gardens created
for European royalty used this
same concept, only the rooms
were bigger. Smaller scale means
greater comfort anyway. And we
enjoy advantages crowned heads
never dreamed of: weatherproof
fabrics, radiant heaters, even
high-end outdoor sound systems.
Blur the line
between outdoors
and in, to get more
value from both.
Many outdoor rooms
are defined by verticals;
this space is created
by floor and pergola
ceiling. The room is set
at an angle from lot lines
for more interest.

citychic
Ontario is vast and wild, yet our cities have strong Old World flavour.
Urban homeowners regard their outdoor spaces as private courtyards, often
interpreted with eurostyle sophistication. A balcony rail is the property line, a bright
awning is shade and a strawberry jar planted with herbs is the kitchen garden.
Serenity is where you find it.

Berberis thunbergii ‘Maria’
Sunjoy Gold Pillar barberry
™
An upright golden barberry with red new growth, its best
colour is in full sun. Tested against other varieties, Sunjoy™
Gold Pillar shows superior burn resistance. Sunjoy™ grows
90-120 cm (3-4 ft.) tall. Tolerant of most soil conditions, it will
withstand dry conditions once established, and does not like
extremely moist conditions. Hybridized in Poland. Hardy to
zone 5.
Berberis thunbergii ‘Moretti Select’
First Editions™ Cabernet™ barberry
Bright crimson new growth is followed by deep burgundyred to purple foliage. The rich colour stands out all
season and is the perfect compliment for plants with
golden leaves. In fall, leaves turn to tones of orange and
scarlet, complemented by shiny red berries. Cabernet™
barberry has a rounded habit and is drought tolerant once
established. It’s generally not eaten by deer. This low
maintenance plant needs no pruning. Hardy to zone 5.
24 | GARDEN INSPIRATION
Buddleja ‘Butterfly Heaven’
Butterfly Heaven butterfly bush
This beautiful flowering shrub’s large, fragrant flowers attract
butterflies to the garden like no other family of plants. Long,
tapering panicles of tiny, sweetly scented lavender florets,
with orange eyes, form on plants from late summer into
fall. Few plants are easier for professionals or gardeners
to grow — cut back almost to the ground in early spring.
This selection was personally selected by Adrian Bloom of
Blooms of Bressingham.Hardy to zone 6.
Hibiscus syriacus ‘America Irene Scott’
Sugar Tip™ rose of Sharon
This variegated Hibiscus blooms with clear, double pink
flowers in late summer. Can grow as tall as 2.4 m (8 ft.) tall in
full sun. Beautiful as a privacy screen or in specimen planting.
Rose of Sharon is typically one of the latest plants to leaf out
in the spring, so patience is needed. Once the leaves unfurl,
the plant will quickly catch up to the others in your garden.
Hardy to zone 6.
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Lynn’
Let’s Dance™ Starlight hydrangea
Let’s Dance is the firstever lacecap hydrangea
that blooms on new wood
with large flowers on
strong stems. Does best
in full sun to partial shade
and prefers a well-drained
soil amended with organic
matter. The breeder says
Let’s DanceTM Starlight
hydrangea is a good
choice for gardeners in
northern climates where
Hydrangea macrophylla
has difficulty blooming. Hardy to zone 6.
The bounty

Hydrangea paniculata ‘DVPinky’
Pinky WinkyTM hydrangea
Did you know that...
• Someone cares about
your plants as much as
you do.
• Since 1940, the Fafard
family has made it their
business to give gardening
enthusiasts the very best
products on earth.
Try them. Enjoy them.
Grow with them.
A very unique hardy hydrangea with massive two-toned,
white and pink flowers in mid-summer. Strong upright red
stems hold the large, 30-40 cm (12-16 in.) blooms up so you
never get the drooping look like Pee Gee hydrangea. The
flower heads continue to grow throughout the season and as
the older flowers turn dark pink the new flowers continue to
emerge white. The effect is stunning. A truly remarkable plant
for the summer and autumn landscape. Hardy to zone 5.

Weigela florida ‘Carlton’
Ghost™ weigela
GhostTM weigela has deep, dark red flowers in spring, but
the main attraction is the foliage which turns to a ghostly,
iridescent, translucent butter cream as summer progresses.
Best in full sun. Reaches a mature height of 1.2 to 1.5 m
(4 - 5 ft.). Hardy to zone 5.

Rosa ‘BAIgirl’
My Girl, Easy Elegance shrub rose
®
Easy Elegance® roses have been bred with the goal of
taking the fear out of growing roses. Each plant in the Easy
Elegance collection is as simple to grow as any flowering
shrub. These roses are low-maintenance, hardy, diseaseresistant plants that bloom all season long. My Girls has
round, deep pink buds held in clusters of five to 30, opening
to blossoms so full they almost hide the centres. Backed by
medium green foliage, this rose has proven highly resistant
to black spot with little to no defoliation. Its compact, upright
habit and good repeat bloom can be used in foundations,
shrub borders and as an informal hedge or accent. Grown on
its own root.
Rosa ‘BAIrage’
Rosa ‘BAIsuhe’
Super Hero, Easy Elegance®
shrub rose
Gardeners don’t need to be a super hero to grow great
roses. Without super human effort, they’ll be able to enjoy
gorgeous, hybrid tea-shaped blooms all season long.
Clusters of perfect, red blossoms stand out strongly against
clean, medium to dark green, satiny foliage. This neat,
compact, disease-resistant shrub is ideal in the border or
foundation planting. Grown on its own root.
Rosa ‘PROse’
Burgundy Iceberg™ floribunda rose
All the Rage, Easy Elegance®
shrub rose
Multi-coloured blooms with tight, coral buds, swirl open to
apricot-coloured blossoms with luminous yellow centres.
Blooms age to lipstick pink before dropping cleanly away.
Clean, disease-resistant foliage on round form makes for a
shrub rose useful in borders or as an informal hedge. Grown
on its own root.
2 | GARDEN INSPIRATION
This new rose has terrific flower production with deep
purple-red burgundy and cream blooms. This floribunda has
everything — a bushy habit, lovely buds, showy clusters,
glossy green foliage and nearly thornless stems along with a
mild honey fragrance.

design with
perennials
Massed perennials are replacing woody plants in structural roles,
as designers respond to more adventuresome client tastes.
Perennials are simply more interesting than your basic juniper.
Colours can be striking or muted. Growth habits are varied and distinctive.
Perennial flowers have fanciful forms and often, lovely fragrances.
Perennials: less structural than trees
and shrubs, but effects can be compelling.
form plus colour
Depend on three favourites
when you want to build structure
with perennials: indestuctible
daylilies, the feathery yet assertive
lavender spikes of Russian sage
and blue fescue ornamental grass
— porcupine of the garden.
Ladell Landscaping
& Gardens, Ottawa

Artfully placed stones and massed heads of sedum
echo the Canadian Shield. At upper right, in a more
formal area, contrasting ornamental grasses define space
just a strongly as the clipped hedge. Evergreen Landscaping

turfties it
together
Canadians love their lawns. Maybe the affair starts in childhood,
associated with the smell of grass stains. Since you can grow
a healthy lawn several ways, you are free to use turf in a way
that is right for your property and your lifestyle. Benefits are more
than a soft, clean, cool, oxygen-producing groundcover.
Turf is the green ribbon that ties
your landscape design together.

Design
reflects
conscience
garden trends
Conserve resources,
minimize maintenance,
continue to enjoy beauty
By Allan Dennis
52 | GARDEN INSPIRATION
Although we gardeners may be quick to embrace the hottest new cultivar,
we are much slower to accept a new trend. We do not like changes to
our favourite design or colour palette. But, sometimes we may not have
a choice. Today’s environmental concerns have gardeners embracing
change, change that is not simply a response to fashion trends.
During a trip to British Columbia this fall, I had the good fortune
to hear Sally Gregson, one of Britain’s foremost gardeners. A highly
respected horticulturist, she has written widely for gardening magazines,
Yellow and orange, set off by
clear complementary blue,
make a successful matrix mix
at the Fetzer Wines garden.
appeared on the BBC and is a sought-after
guest speaker. Two key words Gregson used
throughout her presentation, “Trends for a
new century,” were sustainability and matrix.
Garden for sustainability
“Gardens reflect the times in which they are
created,” said Gregson. “More concern about
the environment is influencing design and
content. New garden design is about being in
the natural world. Plants now must be able
to tolerate drought conditions and handle
specific soils. Immaculate lawns have been
turned into meadow gardens.”
Perennial grasses are ideal choices for sustainable gardening.
As a bonus, naturalized drifts create their own pleasing design over time.
Gregson noted that, “It’s a new naturalization; a move
towards reflecting nature, but with the instinctive human
need to improve upon it.” She explained that other aspects
of sustainable gardening include backyard composting and
rainwater collection.
The sustainability trend also involves new interest in
vegetable gardens. “The fastest-growing garden segment
in the United Kingdom is veggies.” Gregson said. Many
people in her country are growing vegetables among their
flowering plants.
Crowd out weeds
Matrix planting, according to Gregson, means choosing
and managing plants to occupy space so effectively that no
room is left for weeds. Plant selection is key to success. Poor
choices result in dominance by one or two species, and the
disappearance of those that cannot compete.
Interweaving two to three types of plants into one floral
display creates a matrix. Colours can range from the hot
side of the palette, with orange and reds dominating, and
toward non-traditional choices, such as blue or pinks. “The
trend is towards bright, harsh colours, in large displays, with
all plants the same height,” says Gregson. She noted that no
more than three types of plants should be intermingled.
Her photos highlighted some of England’s famous gardens:
Lady Farm, Somerset Fetzer Wines and Hidcote. Gregson
also showed displays from the famous Chelsea show, the
U.K.’s Canada Blooms, to demonstrate the trend towards
gardens designed for sustainability. Some of the display
gardens reflected a move towards meadow gardening.
Whether you embrace new trends, or stick with the tried and
true, it’s still all about the joy and satisfaction that gardens
provide. And no matter what trend is in style, working
in the garden is a good thing for both the soul and the
environment. Just think: in a few more weeks, we’ll be able
to help both.
Colour is not the only tool available for
intermingling — Gregson created this
effect using texture for contrast.
Sally Gregson’s professional
credentials include running
a nursery. See more

pictures and words, at
