Plant of the Day

Monday 18 November 2024

The trailing stems of Dichondra argentea 'Silver Falls' (silver nickel vine) are perfect flowing down this large container display. This tender herbaceous perennial is usually treated as an annual for these displays and grown from seed.

hiya! i work in/manage a greenhouse too (maybe half the size of yours i think?) i was wondering if you had any favorite basket or planter combos you made up this year!

i did a few combos i really loved- antique double salmon geranium with a fern and baby tears pilea

peachy keen verbena, double orange superbells, salmon sunpatiens, vista bubblegum petunia, and silver falls dichondra

really im just a sucker for everything in the peach/salmon/coral/pinks

Yeah!! It's hard to remember to take pictures but this year my favorites have been pinks-blue-yellow but also purples with silver.

In total I designed uhhhhh ~350 cone hanging baskets, ~450 planters of varying sizes, 140 big coco fiber baskets, and 50 big moss baskets. Most of those had 10 of each design. So??? Almost 1000 different designs.

So it is tough to choose a favorite lol or remember which was which.

I really like Salvia Icon Blue as a central thriller, then Petunia Miss Marvelous and Dekko Lavender Eye and Lobularia Stream Lavender as fillers, plus Dichondra.

Also I used Big Eeze Geraniums with Dekko petunias again for the big combos and that worked very nicely! Dekkos are a little smaller so resemble Callies but are more vigorous and less aphid-prone. A combo of those with trailing coleus fills in a huge basket well. Also Diamond frost as a filler. Lysimachia sunburst as a trailer.

Bridal Veil and swedish ivy as shade trailers! Spider plants as well! We have stock plants of all three and they grow super wonderfully. For smaller planters, wire vine, though I didn't use much this year.

And my classic and best selling mix is just. Dragonwing begonia, mixed seed impatiens, and ipomea or trailing coleus. I've found that most customers prioritize lots of colors and flowers over anything else in terms of planter design so impatiens mixes are a big seller even though they're pretty basic

Also, I went heavy on the double impatiens this year. I hate them so much they are so messy and dramatic once it gets hot in the greenhouse but they grow fast and fill in so nicely.

If I could get begonias to grow quickly enough, I'd use them, because I feel like they're the real mvp of summer baskets for longevity but unfortunately, I'm growing for looking good pre-Mother's Day. Anything but dragonwings just can't compete in a mixed basket in early spring.

Anyway lol

[sunbadgerplants]

Another experimental combo in a big 20” pot. The dichondra has to fill in a little still, but otherwise I think it turned out pretty nice!

‘Angel Wing’ senecio, ‘Bordeaux’ and ‘Heavenly Blue’ petunias, nemesia ‘Aromance Pink’, ‘Diamond Snow’ euphorbia, and ‘Silver Falls’ dichondra. 

Edit: added a couple different angles.

Dichondra Repens/ Silver Falls

[plantanarchy]

[id: two planters full of annual flowers. one is a mix of silver and dark purple tones, the other pink, blue, and yellow in a green pot /end id]

Took out the poor sunburned Caladiums in my main planter and replaced it with an Artemisia. So now that planter is Night Sky and Violet Star Charm petunias, Silver Falls dichondra in the front, and Artemisia 'Powis Castle' in the back. Which should fill in more as it grows a better root system.

The other is a new one because my mom didn't like that I planted the Giant Pink petunia in a tiny pot lol she's all "I don't want to go crazy with planter this year" but then would not stop bugging me about options to pair with the dang petunia and even got out this pot and filled it with dirt for me?

Right now, the plants in here are Giant Pink supertunias, light blue Lobelia, Magic Carpet mecardonia, Duranta 'Gold Edge', and a Beth's Blue Isotoma. I might just take back the Isotoma and Duranta because idk it's just not doing it for me and I'm not sure if it will fill out nice. Probably will just do more Lobelia and mecardonia around the edges instead.

Three Trees + A Pool – The Love Story Of A Wild-Looking, Natural Garden

Three Trees + A Pool – The Love Story Of A Wild-Looking, Natural Garden

The materials create just as much a textural feast as the plants! Here crazy paving intersects with timber battens and a rock wall ledge. Photo – Michael Kai.

The root networks of the existing trees and the sloping site meant the levels of the garden were varied and challenging. Hence the crazy paved courtyard sinks below the pool level and decks either side, but provides a route to the garage. Photo – Michael Kai.

Bursts of green foliage pop out everywhere, even at the base of this old eucalypt! Photo – Virginia Cummins.

The site of this bushy, Fairfield garden presented many challenges to Mcnuttndorff Landscapes: a steep slope, a new pool and three existing eucalypts whose large root networks tunnelled throughout the property. But the owners called in the right green thumbs!

‘We primarily had to work around the existing levels and the root systems of the trees, to both protect and highlight them in the garden,’ explains Lori McNutt. Once the designers established the eucalypts as the anchor for the garden, everything else fell into place.

A deck was built out from the house to connect the residence to the garden. From here there are two sets of stairs: one leading down to a crazy-paved courtyard, and another providing entry to the pool.

At the other end of the courtyard is another set of stairs, this time leading up to a raised gravel level that gives way to a wild ‘rockery’ of plants and grasses that stretches all the way up to the slope to the rear perimeter. Bluestone pavers create a winding path past this greenery while cut-boulder steps lead up to a raised platform at the crest of this slope that Lori calls the ‘gin deck’.

‘It was important to create a sense of fluid and circular movement throughout the design – it’s a bush garden surrounding a pool, and like its natural inspiration, nothing is linear,’ says Lori. This fluidity also caters to the many functions the clients desired of their home garden, in no particular order ; ‘swimming, drinking gin and tonics, growing, veggies, building a firepit, sunbathing, eating, exploring.’

The design was inspired by the local landscape designers of the 1970s, such as Ellis Stone and Gordon Ford, but Lori decided to incorporate a few exotics into the predominantly native space for a modern twist.

‘There are native shrubs and grasses, like Banksias, and Correas, Kangaroo grass and Poas, giving a soft grey green and fluffy texture to the garden, with creeping groundcovers like Dichondra ‘Silver Falls’ and Pigface dripping over rocks,’ Lori describes. A variety of tree ferns, foliage plants, lush carpets of viola, architectural bromeliads and grass trees create the base level, while ‘structural plants’ like agave and succulents punctuate the scheme.

This planting palette is designed to reflect the rugged banks of the neighbouring Yarra, and to fit in well with the borrowed landscape visible from beyond the boundary line. Where possible, the plantings are supported by local materials – Australian hardwood, local bluestone and basalt – besides a luxe Italian granite called porphyry, which the clients decided to splash out on.

All in all, the garden is varied and exploratory. This natural oasis with curves, rocks and lush plantings is hardy, versatile, and just a touch romantic!
