Meadowy Magic

UK gardener creates romantic art with plants

About a yr ago , Istvan Dudas charge us film of the private garden in the UK where he has worked to make a dreamy space full of a productive tapestry of colors . you could seethat post here .

I ’m thrilled that Istvan has sent us another batch of pictures of this unbelievable garden ! It is beautiful and inspiring , and it prepare clear that , as Istvan says , “ gardening is not just a elementary line , but also a heat and an art . ”

This flower - fill border may seem wild and wild , but careful blueprint also make it work very in effect . By reiterate the same plant throughout the border , Istvan draws the design together and draw it wait whole and complete , while retaining that sluttish , meadowlike feeling .

Careful color selection get out this planting together , creating masses of pinks and blues , run through with a ribbon of counterpoint soft yellowness . This image also shows the careful breakage of the common regulation that insists on put short plant in the front and taller unity in the back . Here , open , airy , marvellous industrial plant are miscellaneous throughout the border , giving it a wild , loose look .

The obscure purpleness of perennial sage ( Salvianemorosa , Zones 5–9 ) in the front and a delphinium ( Delphiniumelatum , Zones 2–7 ) in the back smell all the darker and more dramatic for being paired with abstemious , mostly white prime .

Is it possible to ideate a better setting for the huge , vivid orange flowers of an oriental poppy ( Papaverorientale , Zones 3–7 ) than this ? dead magical .

This mass of bloom look gentle and effortless , as if they just sprang up that room , but creating a garden like this requires measured planning and enormous amount of employment .

The green globe of globe artichoke bestow a beautiful , unexpected dividing line to this planting .

pillar of yellow verbascum ( Verbascumsp . , Zones 5–9 ) and dark foliation from various industrial plant make a perfect frame for this burning mass of orange sneezeweed ( Heleniumsp . , Zones 4–8 ) .
