Late Summer in Zone 3

Precious warm days full of flowers

Marion Taylor send us photos earlier in the summertime of her Zone 3 garden in Manitoba , Canada , and today we ’re featuring what ’s looking good in late summer . She enjoin , “ We have a little summertime , but the emergence is volatile when the affectionate weather condition arrives , with something new to see every day . ”

I use petunias(Petunia × hybrida , annual ) in the hanging baskets on the verandah . This is ‘ Bubblegum Vista ’ . Behind it is Engleman English ivy ( aka Virginia creeper , Parthenocissus quinquefoliavar.engelmanii , Zones 3–9 ) , which covers the east wall of the house .

Gladiolus(Gladiolushybrid , Zones 7–9 or as a tender bulb ) are a major front-runner , and one of the few things that get cut for fragrancy .

My ‘ Goodland ’ orchard apple tree tree has produced well year after year for twenty years now . The apples are nice to eat on fresh but are absolutely delicious in baking .

This yr the veranda rail plantation owner held a genus Petunia Crazytunia from the Galaxy series .

I had never arise old maid before , and after our wienerwurst draw into the seam where I had planted them , I count on they were destroyed . I put some lavender in , but then some zinnias came up . They almost got pulled as Mary Jane . Thankfully , they did n’t .

An unintentional corporation of remnant petunias and an extra canna work out beautifully .

The Persian shield(Strobilanthes dyerianus , Zones 10–11 or as one-year ) and sorry pansies(Viola × wittrockiana)have been a nice combining in the round bed .

The Little Lime hydrangea(Hydrangea paniculata‘Little Lime ’ , Zones 3–9 ) is so endearing that I ’ve had to get more hydrangeas .
