So Much Spring in Angie’s Arkansas Garden

A soothing plant palette of purples and white gives this garden a stylish start in spring

Hi GPODers !

The week is winding down , but fountain gardens are really starting to heat up . Angie Caruthers in Arkansas has bow her fountain garden , represent the speedy growth of the season . We saw Angie ’s garden for the first time back in 2020 ( July in Arkansas ) and again in spring of 2022 ( Dogwood Season ) . Today , she ’s showing off garden highlighting from spring so far , as well as some exciting new accession that are already skylark incredible blossom .

lashings of gorgeous fountain colour in my Zone 6b garden in Northwest Arkansas !

My spring color palette consists of primarily purplish , lavender , and white bloom , which create such a assuasive , dreamy feel that just make my somebody happy .

May Night salvia(Salvia× sylvestris ‘ Mainacht ’ , Zones 4–8 ) in the foreground and Globemaster allium(Allium‘Globemaster ’ , Zones 5–8 ) in the rear , with David marvelous garden phlox ( Phloxpaniculata‘David ’ , Zones 4–8 ) and purple larkspur start quick for their twist to show off .

fold - up of ‘ Wolf Eyes ’ vary kousa dogwood(Cornuskousa‘Wolf center ’ , Zones 5–8 ) . . .

. . . and a wide view of the full tree , with Golden Tiara hosta(Hosta× ‘ Golden Tiara ’ , Zones 3–9 ) .

freshly in my garden this year is Millenium allium(Allium‘Millenium ’ , zone 5–8 ) . 💜

A finish - up of a flush from that newfangled allium — it ’s brand - new but already sending up bursts of bright purpleness .

Continuing the violet , lavender , and white color scheme , my Decadence ® Sparkling Sapphire baptisia(Baptisia‘Sparkling Sapphires ’ , Zones 4–9)is showing mega development in just one calendar week . The above photo is from Friday , April 18 . . .

. . . and here they are on Friday , April 25 . Side musical note : I love how the baptisia makes it appear like the shark is swimming through an sea bed of seaweed !

Some extra plant new to my garden this twelvemonth are the white Vanhoutte spirea(Spiraea×vanhouttei , Zones 3–8 ) . . .

. . . and Red Pixie lilac(Syringa‘Red Pixie ’ , Zones 3–8 ) . I ’m so excited to see their blooms this year and depend forward to see how they grow for next yr ’s bloom fourth dimension .

Lastly , we have Girard ’s Pleasant White azalea(Rhododendron‘Girard Pleasant White ’ , Zones 5–8)at the base of my Autumn Brilliance serviceberry tree(Amelanchier×grandiflora‘Autumn Brilliance ’ , Zones 4–9).I love these white azaleas and this class decided to contribute some new ( to me ) white azalea varieties ( Irish Cream and Delaware Valley White)in other area of the garden — hopefully I will have some extra lovely photos to partake next spring . In this photo you may also see some trumpet vine ( Campsisradicans , Zones 4–9 ) ricochet up through the boulders — while I recollect the cornet vine is adorable , it seems out of the question to stop . It ’s even springing up in the middle of the lawn . It ’s not something I intentionally imbed — must have been a hitchhiker in some other flora . Any crest on how to corral it are much appreciated , lol !

Till next clock time , Angie
