We noticed Angie’s backyard for the primary time again in 2020 (July in Arkansas) and once more in spring of 2022 (Dogwood Season). Right this moment, she’s displaying off backyard highlights from spring to date, in addition to some thrilling new additions which can be already sporting unimaginable blooms.
A number of attractive spring colour in my Zone 6b backyard in Northwest Arkansas!
My spring colour palette consists of primarily violet, lavender, and white flowers, which create such a soothing, dreamy really feel that simply makes my soul joyful.

. . . and a wider view of the total tree, with Golden Tiara hosta (Hosta × ‘Golden Tiara’, Zones 3–9).
New in my backyard this 12 months is Millenium allium (Allium ‘Millenium’, Zones 5–8). 💜
A detailed-up of a bloom from that new allium—it’s brand-new however already sending up bursts of vivid purple.
Persevering with the violet, lavender, and white colour scheme, my Decadence® Glowing Sapphire baptisia (Baptisia ‘Glowing Sapphires’, Zones 4–9) is displaying mega development in only one week. The above picture is from Friday, April 18 . . .

On this picture you may also see some trumpet vine (Campsis radicans, Zones 4–9) bobbing up by way of the boulders—whereas I believe the trumpet vine is gorgeous, it appears unattainable to comprise. It’s even bobbing up in the course of the garden. It’s not one thing I deliberately planted—will need to have been a hitchhiker in another plant. Any tips about the way to corral it are a lot appreciated, lol!
