HGTV shows 15 famous gardens, showcasing garden design ideas created by world famous garden designers.
Larix decidua 'Puli' on its own stem. Chen tells me that you most often see it on a high graft. Do you see the tall, fresh-green conifer in the middle-background of this picture? On the day I visited Garden Canadensis I didn't pay it much attention; the focus of my camera lens fixed solely on the flashier flowers in the foreground. But now, as I looked back at my pictures, I can see how hard it had worked to try to catch my attention; flirting and waving its soft green curls at me, "You-hoo, Mz. picture taker. Over here!" What a shame I didn't pay it any heed, and my images of the curly conifer are all in soft focus! The beauty of conifers is conspicuous as that of flowers. It requires the patience to take a closer look. Pinus contorta 'Taylor's Sunburst' Chen: "This pine is famous for its cream color shoots in spring that contrast nicely with the green foliage." My immediate response is tactile. I always want to reach out and see if the sharp bristles are hard to the touch or... or soft as a feather. We tend to think of conifers as "green", but that brusque description overlooks the amazing diversity and complexity of their color. Abies procera 'Sherwoodii' has creamy yellow needles. Fresh growth can sometimes be a lighter, brighter color that contrasts beautifully with the deeper colors of more mature growth. Chamaecyparis pisifera 'True Blue' I love the steely blue of this Chamaecyparis pisifera 'True Blue' against the deep, dark Ligularia 'Britt Marie Crawford' on the right. You know when you're a serious plant geek when a color combination like this makes your heart skip a beat. Abies balsamea 'Eugene's Gold' Chen: "This is one of the most ornamental conifers in my garden. The beautiful light gold foliage is maintained throughout the growing season. So far my 'Eugene's Gold' is showing no signs of developing the strong leader that will transform it into a compact tree. I like its low, spreading habit so I might just leave this as it is and purchase a second Abies balsamea." Thuja occidentalis 'Rheingold' And look at this absolutely amazing color! This Thuja occidentalis 'Rheingold' is a blaze with yellow-green and orange. Here is the step-back-view. The bluish conifer in the foreground is Larix laricina 'Blue Sparkler'. The yellow one behind is Taxus cuspidata 'Aurea' with Picea mariana in the distant background. Mix a group of conifers together and you can have a really rich and varied tapestry. Here is a star of a grouping that literally spots traffic. Chen tells me people often pull their cars to the side of the road and come to the front door to ask about this particular False cypress. Picea pungens 'Spring Ghost' on the left. Chen tells me that, "This is one of the most ornamental blue spruce, with creamy white new growth in May/June." On the right is Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Limerick' Chen:"It is one of the most bright golden False cypress." But what I possibly like even more than the color, is the interesting shapes and textures conifers add to the garden. This Larix kaempferi 'Pendula' cascades like water. ( That fantastic geranium is one of Chen's favourites: Geranium pratense 'Dark Reiter' and on the right is Sedum alboroseum 'Mediovariegatum' ) I know this is getting long. Just one last thing I want to draw to your attention: the cones on a few of Chen's conifers. How cool are these! Here we are a little closer. Abies koreana 'Lippetal' Here is a full view of this dwarf conifer. Approximate dimensions of a 10 year old Abies koreana 'Lippetal' is approximately 4' x 2'. Abies koreana 'Blauer Pfiff' I thought these reddish cones were quite intriguing as well. Penstemon and a dwarf Eastern white pine Pinus strobus 'Vercurve' Now, I am sure you must be wondering why, if I am so keen on conifers, there aren't more in my own garden. Well, they are not inexpensive for one. You can often buy two or three perennials for the cost of a single conifer. There is something immediately gratifying about going home with a trunk load of plants rather than a few choice specimens. But gardening is one of those pastimes where patience and perseverance reap the greatest return. If I learned anything from visiting Chen's garden, it's the importance of thinking long range. The greater reward is not immediate, it's long term. In conclusion of this series, I want to say a very big thank you to Linda and Chen for allowing me to photograph their private garden. It was such a pleasure to wander around for a couple of hours and take pictures. Chen and Linda, I think your garden is simply incredible!
