Narcissus ‘Silver Chimes’
and Narcissus ‘Carlton’

Narcissus, the handsome and self-absorbed Greek youth whose tragic tale gives us the term “narcissistic” seems a fitting martyr to beauty. A Fitting namesake also, for the beautiful and much beloved spring bulb, the narcissus or daffodil. Though difficult to naturalize in the Deep South, there are many varieties of daffodils that make repeat visits to Longue Vue each spring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Japanese Magnolia ‘Jane’

(Magnolia soulangeana)

The lovely tulip-like blooms of ‘Jane’ are one of the true harbingers of winter’s end!

Downy Serviceberry

(Amelanchier arborea)

The common name of this small native tree does not begin to do justice to its beauty!

Star Magnolia

(Magnolia stellata)

Star Magnolia is a native of Japan and was brought to the U.S. in the 1860’s.

Peach ‘La Peche’

(Prunus persica ‘La Peche’)

The lovely pink blooms of ‘La Peche’ make their appearance when the first mild days arrive.

Summer Snowdrops

(Leucojum aestivum)

Sweetly nodding white bells adorn this southern ‘Lily of the Nile’ look-alike.

Chinese Witch Hazel

(Loropetalum chinense)

Striking hot pink fringy blooms and deep purple or burgundy foliage make Loropetalum interesting any season of the year.

 

Carolina Jessamine

(Gelsemium sempervirens)

A profusion of golden trumpets heralds spring in the form of Carolina Jessamine.

Lady Banks Rose

(Rosa banksii)

Lovely butter yellow blooms appear but once a year on this signature Yellow Garden plant specimen.
