Immerse yourself in a vibrant haven with this flagstone pathway, encapsulating an assortment of evergreen shrubs and perennials. Primarily low-maintenance and water-wise, these plants exhibit an enduring palette of radiant hues.
Experience the delicate aroma of Lavandula (Lavender), with its abundance of purple flower spikes that starkly contrast with the silvery-gray foliage, enhancing the allure of this scenery. Accompanying this, the golden brilliance of Eschscholzia californica (California Poppy), an effortlessly grown wildflower, infuses a surge of color into the naturalistic border.
In this lively ensemble, we also find bouquets of architectural Juncus patens (California Gray Rush). They impress with their fine, gray-green to gray-blue foliage and erect posture, forming a stunning contrast with the Leptospermum scoparium (Tea Tree). The Tea Tree is an eye-catching, rounded shrub that comes alive with tiny, aromatic, needle-like leaves and profuse flowers.
Overseeing this grand botanical tableau is the remarkable specimen of Prunus cerasifera ‘Nigra’ (Black Cherry Plum). Its dark-purple leaves create a backdrop that amplifies the glow of the surrounding plants. In essence, this vibrant mingling of colors and fragrances makes for a memorable journey along this picturesque pathway.
