Todays ’ photos are from Barbara Curtiss in Kent , Connecticut . We ’ve inflict Barbara ’s garden before ( brush up your memoryHERE ) , and we love how she and her hubby have collaborated on their landscape painting , but today she want to share her single most favorite plant .
She says,“I garden three estate in Kent , Connecticut , and have purchase just about every Zone 5 , deer resistive plant there is , but my hands - down best-loved isAngelica gigas . I wish I could send 50 exposure … there are so many arresting combinations that they have found by themselves ! They ’re inordinately generous with seeds ; uncoerced to grow in sun , specter , dry or moist ; are n’t encroaching ; face great in any coloring material combining ; and hit their splendor when most other flowers are already a memory board of the yr .
“ It is the most asked - about flora I have – it literally stops cars on the road , and few the great unwashed are familiar with them . Why are they so unknown ? I ca n’t imagine . amount by Sculpturedale in October and I ’ll give you a thousand cum so you may have them zest up your garden . ”
I love this plant , too , Barbara , but have never grown it . I may have to stop by for some seeds …… Thanks !
