We were delighted this week to welcome Irish nurseryman/marketer Pat Fitzgerald. This was the first time we’d met in person, although we’ve corresponded on-line for years. We had a wonderful time walking through the gardens and sharing our excitement about new plants on the horizon. Pat is best known for his amazing line of carex that he’s developed, with more in the pipeline. Here are a few you’ll see if you visit during our final two Summer Open Nursery and Garden days today (Saturday 8-5), and tomorrow (Sunday 1-5).
Pat Fitzgerald
Carex ‘Everest’
Carex ‘Everillo’
Carex ‘Everlime’
Carex ‘Eversheen’
Best thing I ever did was to plant a ribbon of Everillo in my shade garden…deer proof, glorious color all year, and does much better in my zone8-b garden than gold hostas ever did…practically idiot proof!
I love, love, love everillo!
