Color block gardens add some artistry
S
ome of the most striking gardens aren’t a riot of multiple colors but a carefully curated assemblage of hues. Using foliage and flowers, gardeners can create drama and artistry. A lake of blue salvia, perhaps. A swath of feathery green grass. The idea is to massplant so the color becomes a living brush stroke along the landscape. Architect Peter Marino used the technique on his 12-acre property in Southampton, New York. Among the apple orchards, art objects and hundreds of evergreens, his garden includes a “color wheel,” with purple flowers at the north end, pink at the south, and red and mixed hues to the east and west. Yellow is off on its own. KIM COOK “The yellow garden is a separate, one-acre ‘room,’ bordered by European chestnuts and George Peabody arborvitae,” Marino writes in his new book, “The Garden of Peter Marino” (Rizzoli). “I don’t care for yellow flowers mixed with other colors, so I planted them all together in what is intended to be one big explosion of color.” Melissa Ozawa, features and garden editor for Martha Stewart Living, says that when designing a color block garden, “don’t just think about flower color, but look at foliage too. For example, if you’re going to create a bluethemed border or bed, opt for plants with blue-green leaves like ‘Hadspen Blue’ hosta, silvery ghost fern, or ‘Frosty Blue’ agave, rather than varieties with golden or yellow undertones.” Include a few versions of your color, she says, to keep things from being too literal. “If you want a yellow garden, don’t just stick to the one shade of yellow,” she says. “Choose a mix of hues, and even add a pop of orange, to keep things interesting. Choose vibrant chartreuse or yellow-green foliage, and look for cultivars with variegation, such as hakonechloa grass or drought-tolerant euphorbia.” Or instead of sticking with one color, consider a theme. “For a sophisticated and romantically moody dark garSee Colors p. 2D

RIGHT AT HOME: Go with the flow with water-themed decor
By KIM COOK Associated Press Summer for many of us means reconnecting with water — lakeside hikes, paddles in the sea, luxuriant floats in some relaxing pool. And that connection isn’t confined just to the outdoors, either. Watery hues and motifs are all over home decor. “Water imagery adds a beautiful dimension to a room,” says designer Ohara Gaetano-Davies of Laguna Beach, California. Her projects include beachfront homes in Southern California and Cape Cod. In a seaside home in Laguna Beach’s Emerald Bay area, she painted the interior of some open cabinetry a serene pale blue, evoking beach glass. A collection of white coral sits on the shelves. A large, contemporary painting of a woman diving fills one crisply painted white wall. For a small powder room, Gaetano-Davies went with Phillip Jeffries’ Fade Sea Spray wallcovering, a textural rendition of gently rolling waves in soft blues. (www.phillipj-
This undated photo provided by Trove shows their Mazu pattern wallpaper. Trove wallpaper’s new Ode to Eau collection celebrates the serenity and the explosiveness of water through watercolor imagery. One has the sense of a tumbling waterfall, with this Mazu pattern shown here. (AP photo) effries.com ) “The gradation of color and tone adds beautiful di-
mension and movement to a relatively small space,” she says. “Your eye focus-
es on the movement of the pattern and not the scale of the room. “ For Trove’s new wallpaper collection, designers Randall Buck and Jee Levin used Chilean poet Pablo Neruda’s “Water” poem as inspiration. Their watercolor paintings evoke both the serenity and explosive nature of water. In the three-pattern “Ode to Eau” collection, the Drift pattern is a cool horizon of gently lapping waves; Mazu carries us into a tumble of frothy waves; Estuary brings us right to the edge of a thundering waterfall, full of kinetic energy. (www.troveline.com ) Sometimes a stylized pattern successfully brings the theme home in a subtle way. Momeni’s simple geometric repeat of a wave motif works beautifully on an indoor/outdoor rug at Target. (www.target.com ) An aqua-hued wavy scallop makes a chic and modern tray at Homegoods.

US home prices rising 2 times faster than wages By JOSH BOAK AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON — U.S. home prices climbed in March at the strongest rate in nearly three year as a dwindling supply of houses for sale is causing prices to significantly outpace income growth. The Standard & Poor’s CoreLogic CaseShiller 20-city home price index released Tuesday rose 5.9 percent over the past 12 months ended in March, the most since July 2014. Home values are increasing at more than double the pace of average hourly earnings, making it more difficult for many people to afford to buy a home. “Over the last year, analysts suggested that one factor pushing prices higher was the unusually low inventory of homes for sale,” said David Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. “People are staying in their homes longer rather than selling and trading up.
A steady job market has bulked up demand among many would-be buyers, but there are fewer properties on the market. Sales listings have plummeted 9 percent over the past year to 1.93 million, according to the National Association of Realtors. The shortage of homes to buy has caused prices to rise sharply in many metro areas. The largest annual gain was in Seattle, where prices have surged 12.3 percent. Portland, Oregon recorded a 9.2 percent increase, while Dallas prices rose 8.6 percent. Of the 20 cities in the index, the weakest gain was in New York City_an area where home prices are already high relative to median incomes. Home prices in New York City have risen 4.1 percent in the past year, still much higher than U.S. average hourly earnings that have increased 2.5 percent over the past 12 months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

den, combine deep purple, brown, and burgundy foliage plants like heuchera, cimcifuga, elderberry, and elephant ears with dark red, burgundy, and purple flowers, such as ‘Queen of Night’ tulips, ‘Black Barlow’ columbine, Knautia macdonica, and ‘Windsor’ sweet peas,” says Ozawa. For those with green thumbs but little outdoor space, similar effects can be created using planters, baskets and pots. Better Homes & Gardens’ April issue suggests loading up a cayenne-hued container with “hot”-hued heuchera, croton, Swiss chard, bloodleaf and Fireworks fountain grass. A deep purple basket gets dramatically dressed with
the rich grape-y leaves of oxalis, Purple Flash peppers and Persian shield. Or marry a couple of complementary colors, like greens and golds. Dwarf lemon cypress, Carolyn’s Gold mini hostas and All Gold Japanese forest grass positively glow in a bold and brawny chrome yellow ceramic pot. Says the magazine’s editor, Kathy Barnes: “When you use a narrow color palette — for plants and container — it’s nearly impossible to end up with an arrangement that doesn’t look sophisticated and pulled-together.” As you plan a color block garden, keep in mind your hardiness zone and seasonal fluctuations. Experts at your local garden center should be helpful.

“Go equipped with photos of the space you’re planting, and know what kind of light your plot gets,” advises Ozawa. “As with any border or bed, make sure you vary texture and plant heights, and consider the bloom time of each plant you’re adding. You don’t want a spectacular show in spring only to have it peter out and stop blooming once the weather warms up in summer.”
