A simple and well-balanced garden layout compliments this small but richly-textured backyard landscape. Panicle Hydrangeas, dwarf Crabapple tree and purple-leaved Smokebush frame the pollinator-dominant species of coneflower, yarrow and salvias. The show-stopping display of Thalictrum rochebrunarium (lavender mist meadow rue) hits its peak display mid-summer, lighting off its own version of summer fireworks.
A more relaxed hardscape use of Lannon Stone flagstone leads homeowners from back area archway at public walk, up to a sweeping patio of the same stone. Garden owner continues to add garden flourishes, pretty potted plantings, and bird and bee houses, to make this garden that much cozier and valued for her and her guests.
