We Love These Blooms

Everyone has a favorite seasonal flower. Our Garden editors’ favorite pansy is ‘Pandora’s Box,’ which opens up an entire range of colors in one flower. Jimmy Turner, garden designer at the Dallas Arboretum, looks for plants that “coat themselves in a frosting of flowers, not just a spattering here or there,” and is partial to Panola and Nature Series. (He also likes ‘Purple Rain’ and ‘Frosty Rain’ pansies for window boxes and hanging baskets.) Every time we pay a fall visit to David Wright of Wright’s Nursery and Greenhouse in Plantersville, Alabama, we can bank on seeing a showy display of his favorite series such as Sorbet, Majestic Giants II, Supreme, Matrix, and Venus. Try any of these, and you won’t be disappointed.
