Such beautiful plant combinations!

I love your plant combinations in this project! The variegated abutilon looks beautiful with the oak leaf hydrangea - it would be an even more stunning combination when flowering. Would you please share the varieties? And the yellow abutilon paired with the variegated abutilon looks amazing as well!

    Awe, you are so kind to say. I will have to pull the planting plan to get more detail for you. Give me a little bit of time to gather that info. Also, this client is an avid gardener and takes meticulous care of her garden. Her love shines through...don't you think!


    Thanks again for the compliment. Happy Gardening :-)

    Obviously the perfect combination of landscape architect and gardener! I LOVE your work! I appreciate meticulous people and yes her love definitely shines through! Really I was just curious - I'm guessing it's abutilon 'Thompsonii' - please don't bother going through the trouble.

    Hi Nancy, good work! It is indeed Abutilon 'Thompsonii.' We paired it with blue-violet Geranium 'Rozanne' (a real winner for zone 9b!) and Hydrangea quercifolia 'Pee Wee' which stays small for a front-focal planting. The roses, however, are not in our record and must have been planted by the client. Definitely a stunning choice! It's never any trouble, thanks again for your appreciation!

    I think you and I have similar taste in plants. I recently ordered two Abutilon 'Thompsonii' for my own yard to flank a 'Little Lime' hydrangea. I LOVE oakleaf hydrangea but needed a smaller and more sun tolerant hydrangea for the spot. I'm also a huge fan of 'Rozanne' - I already have two but think I might very well end up planting two more next to the abutilons. Great minds! Hahaha!
