This lakefront garden in Connecticut, designed by Larry Weaner, marries beauty with sustainability.
Plants in the foreground: Echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower), Heliopsis helianthoides (oxeye sunflower; yellow blooms), and Monarda didyma (beebalm; red blooms). Plants along the water’s edge: various species of sedges and pondedge wildflowers, such as pink milkweed, white turtleheads, and blackflag iris.
“This area was planted with both live plants and seed,” says Weaner. The purple coneflower and oxeye sunflower were planted from seed. But because beebalm expands by underground roots and produces little viable seed, live plants were planted in this spot. Photo by Saxon Holt.
