Late Summer in Sharon’s Garden

Last looks at summer green

Today we ’re visiting with Sharon Danovich Lupone in Pittsburgh . We ’ve been to her garden before ( Sharon ’s Pennsylvania Garden , Part 2andSharon ’s Pennsylvania Garden ) , and today she ’s divvy up some views of the garden is it displace into fall .

As summer wind down , the blooms of thepanicle hydrangeas(Hydrangea paniculata , Zones 3–8 ) take on rosey hues .

well-situated chairs receive you to sit and enjoy the garden .

A flock ofcoleus(Coleus scutellarioides , Zones 9–11 or as an yearly ) gives season - long people of colour next to the front steps . The russet hues of the foliation complement the house absolutely and seem even more appropriate as autumn approach .

Hydrangea flowers in a vase and a bloom stem turn ofsedum(Hylotelephium spectabile , Zones 3–9 ) laid across the plate help to make a beautiful garden table setting .

The belated summertime sunlight streams through the garden . Thehostaleaves are still saucy and dark-green , though soon they will transform to golden sensationalistic .

The neatly trimmedhedgegives a horse sense of order and formalness to the wilder , more informal growth habit of the hydrangea .

A daub to sit in the refinement offers a berth to search out at the riotous green lawns and florescence boundary line beyond .

In this raft full ofsummer color , the large plant in the back with a bloodless flush is a gardenia ( Zones 8–11 ) . Gardenias have some of the most powerfullyfragrantblooms of any plant .

ruddy wanderer lily ( Lycoris radiata , Zones 6–10 ) bloom in recent summer , the anthesis stems popping up before the leave-taking emerge a little subsequently . It ’s easy to see where these flowers get their mutual name !
