Getaway Garden by the Sea

Roger Foley; Stylist: Tim Ward

 

Getaway Garden by the Sea

Now, the bright pea-gravel walkway gives way to bricks lined with liriope. Low-profile plantings such as drought-resistant Japanese holly, twin dwarf weeping cherry trees, and drought-hardy purple nepeta (catmint) fill the south-facing space. In the window boxes, ‘Impacta Pink’ phlox echo the rear garden’s pink shrub roses, ponytail plant, and salvia add height, and coleus brings a rich red to the mix.
