While most of your customers don’t have a castle like Sissinghurst, you can get the look of their famous white garden by choosing a succession of white flowering plants for spring through fall. Some call it a romantic garden, others a moonlight garden – call it what you will, the white just pops in the night landscape where other colors disappear. Need fillers? Just add some variegated or silver-leaved groundcover to bridge the seasons. Some of our top suggestions are: Miss Manners Obedient Plant, David Summer Phlox, Starshine Aster, Diane Rose-of-Sharon, White Clips Bellflower and Casa Blanca Oriental Lily. Here’s a short list of others:

Honorine Jobert Windflower (Anemone x), Brauschleier & Snowdrift Astilbe, White Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectablis ‘Alba’), Henryi Clematis, Pow-Wow White Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Sister Teresa or Blushing Bride Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla), Culver’s Root (Veronicastrum virginicum), Summer Snowflake Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum)…

Plus these fillers: Silvermound Wormwood (Artemesia), So Sweet Hosta, Variegated Deadnettle (Lamium), Majeste & Mrs. Moon Lungwort (Pulmonaria), Ralph Shugert Variegated Vinca…

So make the garden a night-time destination for more than just setting off fireworks.
