![]() ![]() ![]() As a composition, the Oudolf Field is at its most complete in the autumn. As for late-flowering herbaceous plants, their blossoming is more than just a show of colour it is the consummation of their growth, when their full form is realized. ‘Structural’ planting is a term often reserved for woody plants, trees or shrubs that have a permanent presence, but there are only herbaceous plants here to make ‘bones’ and they must regrow them every year, only establishing them fully near the year’s end.Īlthough the Sporobolus Meadow at the centre of the garden will have long since reached the climax of its growth, only the autumn sees the taller-growing fringes of the site blossom. The latent architecture of the herbaceous planting is finally fully visible, where there was nothing in the spring. Although it is perhaps not a ‘season of fruitfulness’ in the classic sense, growth in the borders has reached a satisfying maturity. Autumn is traditionally a period of bounty, when the year’s work reaches its culmination. ![]()
