Today ’s picture is from Veronica Guyre . She enunciate , “ I garden in a cold Zone 4 microclimate at the base of a hill in Lyme , New Hampshire . All of my garden region are immediate enfeeble due to an under bed of moxie and crushed rock . I chose these three plants not only for their counterpoint characteristic , but also for their cold-blooded boldness and immunity to drought . They are part of a 16 - pes by 5 - foot , NW exposed area between my screen porch and Harlan F. Stone patio . The plant in the photo include ‘ Biokovo ’ hardy geranium ( GeraniumXcantabrigiense‘Biokovo ’ , USDA Hardiness Zones 5 - 8) with soft , pastel blooms just in time for the summer solstice ; cliff sedum ( Sedum cauticola , Zones 5 - 9 ) , with small , placid little potato of dispirited - green leaf that I employ as a earth cover on a third of the seam ; and ‘ Silver Carpet ’ lambs ’ ear ( Stachys byzantina‘Silver Carpet ’ , Zones 4 - 8) , a foreground plant with oblong , upright , fuzzy grey foliage . Thanks , Veronica , for deal this great plant jazz group with us !
