Arrangements in White

In a recent project Paul was able to capture an interesting arrangement of whites in a very difficult planting space. The plant material shown accents a small corner in a much larger landscape. The bed location was pinched between an outdoor kitchen, boulder arrangement, stone walkway and retaining wall. This was all part of a complex outdoor living space placed within the confines of a coastal setback. We were heavily protected from the winds however our soil depths were not as deep as we would like them. We chose Hydrangea anomala ssp. petiolaris (Climbing Hydrangea) for it’s white lacecap flower which is just showing its face at the back right. In front of the climbing hydrangea we used Hydrangea arborescens. To help dress some of the stone gaps we mixed a hierarchy of Sedum album (White Stonecrop) and Sagina subulata (Scotch/Irish Moss). This is a great cascading white flower arrangement throughout the best months of summer.
