White Gardens You Have To See

03.03.24 | The Freshman Gardener | No Comments

White Gardens are all the rage right now. At first glance, a white garden may seem simplistic, but the addition of textures, differing heights and fullness, and varieties of blossoms can take it to the next level. The monochromatic scheme is characterized by arrays of blossoms like lilies, roses, hydrangeas, tulips, and peonies, each contributing to the mixtures of whites, creams, and silvers. I’ve searched the entire internet for the most exquisite white gardens you have to see. Let’s get into it.

White Hydrangeas

There isn’t a more classic white garden flower than hydrangeas. They come in many varieties and these giant white floral bunches are timeless. Paired with a boxwood hedge is my favorite combination. Some of the best varieties of hydrangeas for a white garden are Annabelle, Incrediball, BoBo, Limelight (look green sometimes), and Invincebelle Wee White. Proven Winners has all the varieties to choose from.

Roses

White roses are a given in a white garden. They add fragrance and elegance and have an incredibly long bloom time. Some of my favorites are Snow Goose, Pope John Paul II, Alba Maxima, Sally Holmes, Desdemona, and Iceberg. Roses are great because climbing varieties look amazing on trellises and archways, you can pot them on containers for simplicity, or keep them bunched in your landscape.

Clematis, Bouganvillea, & Star Jasmine

These amazing climbers will be a knockout in any white garden. All would do well on a trellis or archway and make such a huge impact. I love clematis because they come back bigger and better each year. I can’t grow Bouganvillea vines where I live but warmer climates are lucky to have this as an option. Star Jasmine is a favorite for criss cross designs and wall gardens.

Are you inspired?! These white gardens show off how calm, elegant, and serene a white garden can look and feel. I have some ideas for hydrangeas in my own front garden this year thanks to some of these pictures. Check out my other post HERE about the earliest white spring flowers to bloom. Happy Spring!
