Garden of: Mike & Phyllis Saxon
This hidden oasis nestled in the heart of Spring Hill features butterfly bush, bottlebrush, banana shrub, and agapanthus. The courtyard showcases a water feature encircled by Japanese magnolias, crepe myrtles, knock-out roses and angelonia. A custom pergola houses an inviting seating area surrounded by jasmine, while a Japanese maple provides shade for sasanquas, espaliered camellias, ferns and oakleaf hydrangeas. Stroll this garden slowly or you will miss variegated dwarf gardenias, quince, and hydrangeas. Daylilies are tucked throughout with masses of seasonal color, providing surprise and bloom throughout the seasons.
Designer: Melanie Lobel, Planting the Seed
