White Color of This Summer

White Dahlia

They said white flowers in the garden bring a sense of serenity, that color white symbolizes purity, innocence, love, elegance etc. I suppose white flowers can brighten up shady areas and bring quietness to the garden. In the evening, especially in the season of 'White nights' they can also make my garden come alive.


White Asiatic Lilies

White flowers look interesting planted with green foliage plants, as Hostas, Miscantus, Conifers, Rodgersia, Potentilla. I usually plant white flowers mixing them with other colorful plants because white color always combines well with any plants in any garden.


White roses 'Swany' and Rose-Marie (Austin's roses)


White Phlox paniculata

When I'd been visiting the Wisley gardens in the UK I saw an all-white garden. I learned that to do it is more difficult than it looks. As you see on my photos color 'white' can often be partially yellow or creamy. Nevertheless, white flowers can be a spectacle in a garden, bringing a sense of coolness on hot days.



Camomile (Leucanthemum vulgare) and White Impatiens


Нydrangea arborescens and Нydrangea paniculata


White Begonia

There are many plants with white flowers but I usually determine the right plants for my garden, choose varieties available to my gardening zone 5a, to garden soil.
Do you love white
color in your garden? What plants do you choose in this case?

  6. I have some white flowers; yours are just beautiful. In a former garden I loved having Casa Blanca lilies, but I cannot grow them in my new garden. Thank you for sharing all that sparkle.

  7. Hello Nadezda,

    I love all your white flowers! I have many of them in my garden. Hydrangea paniculata is a very good plant here too. They tolerate cold temperatures.
    Have a nice week!

    1. Alistair, I have had Oriental Lilies time ago but they aren't hardy to our climate. My lilies are Asiatic ones.

  14. How beautiful your white flowers are, Nadezda. I grow some of the same plants in my own garden and find white blooms refreshing in the heat of summer.

  17. Hello Nadezda !
    I love those white Asiatic lilies ! .. You didn't say exactly which ones they are ? ..
    White in the garden is a favorite of mine .. I think it lifts the atmosphere when the foliage may be a bit overwhelming.
    You are so right about it being trickier than thought .. I think I have to plan my white patches out better myself for next year as well .. yours are gorgeous ! !

    1. Joy,
      I'm glad you liked my white lilies. If I'm not wrong it's 'New wave' variety.
      Hopefully your garden is nice as always next year.

  19. I love white flowers, too, Nadezda! Hydrangea wouldn't grow in my garden. Most of my white flowers grow in May. But this summer nearly nothing blooms in my garden thanks to no rain and permanent heat. Seeing your green-white garden pictures makes me very jealous. My lawn is now completely dried out, not green anymore. :(
    Your phlox, lily and roses look very beautiful in white!

    1. Sorry, Sigrid, this summer is very dry and hot, we have had the same weather here too. Now we have usual weather, +24 C with rains and winds. last month I was always worrying about watering the garden. I'm glad you liked my white flowers.

  21. Gorgeous white flowers, Nadezda!
    I'm trying to plant white flowers in a shady area. There's a rhododendron with almost white flowers, aquilegias, Lamprocapnos 'Alba', white Galium, Convallaria, even white Lupins... but this summer was so hot and dry that the project didn't go much further.
    Have a happy Thursday!

    1. You write about your white flowers, Sara and I see that I have the same ones here too. Galium, we call it 'forest tea' widely grows around, 'lily-of-valley' I grow in my rocky garden, it flowers greatly every spring. But this summer was a challenge to many of plants, you're right.
      Happy weekend!

  22. I like white flowers very much and have along the path to the greenhouse a double white border. Your last photo is so beautiful! The whites I use in my garden are white roses, Hydangeas, Phloxes, Anemones, Cosmeas, Viburnums, white Vinca, Lysimachia clethroides and so on.
    Wish you a nice weekend Nadezda!
