Multi-color Impatiens

Blue Salvia

Pink and White Claome

a variety of Colius

Summer & Early Fall
Mid June through mid September is the height of Nantucket garden season. This is when shrubs are in their glory:

Blue and White Nantucket Hydrangea

Pink and Rose Spirea

Yellow St. Johns Wort

White Potentilla

Rose and White Summer Sweet

Pink Butterfly Bush

Common Privet

Grasses add magnificent texture and movement to your Nantucket wedding or event.

Tall Maiden Hair Grass

Dwarf Fountain Grass


Feather Reed Grass

Mid & Late Fall
The grasses are just beginning to flower. Mums and sedums are in full flower, and although many of the aforementioned plants have lost their flowers, their leaves and foliage still create a beautiful sight.

Our Nantucket gardens include a touch of whimsey with an occasional piece of garden art. These may include a colored gazing ball or two. Nautical weather vanes, grapevine topiary and free standing stone all add an organic connection within the garden setting.

Any of the varieties listed above are available for purchase for inclusion in your Nantucket garden through C.A. Dragon Landscaping.
