Container for Winter
Summer's flowers haven't found their way to this container at the Kauffman Memorial Gardens.
The landscapers at the Kauffman Memorial Gardens are working long hours changing out the beds from spring bulbs to summer annuals. The long planter boxes on the top of the pergolas have been planted with a combination of flowers and foliage plants that drape down. The Clematis and Hydrangeas are flowering in the Secret Garden. The Oriental Lilies and Hollyhocks by the conservatory are beautiful. A large Vitex is full of buds. But, all alone on one of the courtyards is a container that isn't quite ready for summer. It still has plants from winter: Ornamental Cabbage, Dusty Miller, and Variegated Ivy.
The Kauffman Memorial Gardens are located just east of the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. Click on these sites for information on the gardens:
