We are Creating a Gothic Garden this year!


The spring has been a little weird this year, and I have bought very few plants, but I still have a good start on creating a Gothis Garden.

Last year was the Moon Garden, but recently a neighbor cut down a large old tree, so I may be getting a little more light into the back yard.
*Gothic Gardens tend to lack the formality of straight bed lines and paths, tightly clipped hedges and manicured plants. Instead, pathways with twists and turns or dark dead ends are more the style with plants encroaching over the path and blocking the view of what comes next.
*Gothic Gardens look best when they're simply bursting with purple, black and burgundy-hued plants. 'Queen of the Night' tulips are a high-drama option for bringing your vision of a dark, beautiful garden to life, although I will also be adding yellows, and whites.

You could go for black roses, pansies, tulips, calla lilies, bat flowers, black mondo grass, burgundy peonies, dark purple dahlias, black hollyhocks, and purple smoke bush. As always I have none of those, but I do have Hostas, Purple Basil, Ground cover with green, and silver leaves, with purple flowers, Heuchera Forever Purple, and various grasses that are variegated, and solid green, Purple Cone Flowers, and daisies.
I would like to get the purple grasses, impatiences, slavias, and begonia, etc This year I am trying to spend less on plants, and utilize the plants that I already have. To start off the garden, I have been moving some plants around to see hoe they look best, and so far it has been working.
Below is what I aachieved so far with what I already have. How do you like it? Summer is not here yet, so I still have some work to do.
