Making magic in a narrow garden space
Today she ’s sharing some photos of the garden as it take care at the tallness of summer last year .
This is the north side of the Fern Fairway , with its mainstaysLeucothoe fontesiana‘Rainbow ’ ( zone 5–8),Athyrium‘Godzilla ’ ( Zones 5–8),Hosta‘Big Daddy ’ ( Zones 4–9),Hakonechloa macra‘All Au ’ ( Zones 5–9 ) , and a metal fern band .
Athyrium‘Ghost ’ ( zone 4–9 ) begin magnanimous and better with each pass by year .

A longer view of this very narrow nicety garden
Athyrium filix - femina‘Dre ’s Dagger ’ is such a show - stopper . The first time I view it was in Thomas Hobbs and Brent Beattie ’s country garden , and it was sexual love at first sight .

Fuchsia‘Pink Marshmallow ’ ( Zones 10–11 or as an yearly ) brings delight to both humans and hummers !
Did I mention that it is difficult to photograph this corridor ?
This plantation owner is across the kitchen windowpane . I hear something different this year and used square charge card pots as cut-in . When the Hosta went dormant , I replaced and rearranged the plants . This extends the season of the container without as much piece of work for me . I can also bring in in the yearly fern earlier .

I conceive this is Asian saber fern(Polystichum neolabatum , Zones 5–9 ) , a relatively new improver to the Fairway .
The delicate blossom ofCardiandra alternifolia(Zones 5–9 )
Paris polyphylla(Zones 5–8 ) was a raffle win from a local garden social club , andTricyrtis‘Renkaku ’ was a purchase from a house works sales event by a well - hump local nurseryman . I love the jazz band !
