Remembering a visit to the Montreal Botanical Garden, May, 2018.
- Beaux Arbres will have Shooting Star (Dodecatheon) for sale in the spring.
- Rock Whitlow-grass at the Montreal Botanical Garden
- Eastern Wild Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis)
The Alpine Garden at MBG is divided into areas planted with species from different regions of the world. I was delighted to discover that there was an eastern North America section and that it was planted with many of the species I have been promoting for rock gardens.
- Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum) at the Montreal Botanical Garden.
Beaux Arbres has offered Prairie Smoke for several years and it is always a popular choice.
A wonderfully showy flower in the South American section, Sisyrinchium striatum or Pale Yellow-eyed Grass is related to our native Blue-eyed Grasses. I was amazed to find this plant from Chile and Argentina growing in Montreal (Zone 5B)l. I started a flat of this species from seed — easy to do — and we’ll see how it does in our Zone 4B garden.
