Azalea, Dogwood, and Iris Garden

This most recent garden has borders of more than 225 feet of brightly coloured, fragrant azaleas sheltered by dogwood trees interspersed with peonies.  A collection of irises, including Siberians, bearded, and Japanese, as well as the late winter reticulata hybrids, is also part of this garden. 

In mid-summer, the garden changes into tones of blue, silver, and rose provided by agapanthus, clematis, lavenders, and dieramas. The azalea leaves change from green to shades of red and purple in autumn. Asters, salvias, and nerines are highlights.
