Pat’s Ontario Garden

The sunny garden of a hosta lover

Today ’s picture are from Pat Cassidy .

I have been garden in this space for 30 twelvemonth now just outside Ottawa , Ontario . The first couple of years , as it is for everyone , it was a challenge . My biggest challenge was that my garden is all sun and my favorite plant is a genus Funka !

Some of my preferent Hosta here are ‘ Popcorn ’ , ‘ June ’ , ‘ Island Breeze ’ , ‘ Orange Marmalade ’ , ‘ Fox Fire Palm Sunday ’ , ‘ Liberty ’ , and ‘ Whee ’ . Unfortunately , the tree diagram above , which give minimal shade , has been slowly dying over the last couple of years . The huecheras are ‘ Cherry Cola ’ and ‘ Pear ’ .

This is another part of my garden , withHosta‘Sagae ’ , lupins(Lupinuspolyphyllus , Zones 3–6);Allium(Zones 5–8 ) , which have been planted here for about 15 year ; a few iris(Irishybrid , whiskered mathematical group , Zones 3–9 ) that lam my last removal , and a peony(Paeonia‘Felix Crousse ’ , Zones 3–8 ) that has not yet bloomed .

This is another angle , with ‘ Morning Lilac ’ Itoh peony(Paeonia‘Morning Lilac ’ , Zones 4–8 ) in full bloom in the foreground .

Pink cleome(Cleome hassleriana , annual ) is dot about in the front of this view of the garden in full summer bloom .
