Isabelle Cosby Courtyard has a lot of interesting plants, including this Alstroemeria ‘Freedom’. With its red flowers during this hot time of year, it draws a lot of interest. These plants enjoy full sun to partial sun, and are heat tolerant. They reach about 30” tall. The petal shapes and dotting of colors is great. This is a very nice, compact plant. Photo credit: J.

Next to the Pollinators Garden is this great Cornus kousa ‘Wolf Eyes’. The plant seems to be very healthy and happy with partial sun in this location. The variegation on the leaves is beautiful, and the wall is a nice backdrop. These plants get to be about 10’ tall. It’s a lovely plant to walk by on your way to and from the nearby buildings.
