Exotics Garden

A lovely, glazed red pot in the Exotics garden of the Perennial border is surrounded by New Zealand flax (Phormium cookianum), Japanese Forest grass (Hakonechloa macra) and the bloom of a common artichoke (Cynara scolymus).

A tiny dwarf water lily (Nymphaea) on the verge of blooming completes the water feature in the Exotics garden of the Perennial border.

Canna lilies seem to over-winter well in the Exotics garden of the Perennial border due to the Arboretum's maritime Zone 8 planting climate.
