The views across the Hudson river from the garden are very photogenic. But turn around and you’ll find gardens so impressive you won’t want to bother with the views.
Many of the beds play with color in exciting, interesting ways. Here, dark foliage and flowers in shades of red work together to create a dark, moody, exciting display.
The flowers of Gladiolus ‘Atom’ are bright scarlet, edged with a tiny line of white. The colors glow all the brighter against the backdrop of dark leaved castor beans (Ricinus communis).
Phytolacca americana ‘Sunny Side Up’ is a vivid, bright yellow leaved version of the common (and obnoxious) pokeweed. Here it is paired with a dark leaved orach (Atripex hortensis), using two plants that some would consider weeds to make garden magic.
I like the spiny, white flowers of rattlesnake master (Eryngium yuccifolium) and I’m fine with the soft blue flowers of Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolium), but the two of them together? Wow. A perfect combination. And even better, the two plants both thrive in the same dry, sunny conditions. A match made in heaven!
