The homeowners started this garden—christened
Sundara Rustic Garden—8 years ago as a water conserving.
Their goal was to provide variation of color, textures and size using all
drought resistant plants, with a focus on California natives. Our local San
Gabriel Mountains inspired poppy reseeding and spreading of a natural landscape.
A perennial glabrous eye stunner
called the Matilija poppy is the most recent addition. Its fluttering
crepe-like white petals and the central cluster of bright yellow stamens
reaches 6-12 inches across. Thousands of poppy seeds have reseeded over the
past 8 years, making each Spring more breathtaking then the previous year
Wildlife has changed. Many more
Hummingbirds visite in spite of the garden mascot "Marlow," a cat who
likes to welcome anyone who ventures into her beloved garden.
The owners water inconsistently, with
anywhere from two to three weeks between watering and spend just enough on
maintenance time to keep the grass and weed levels down..
Sundara Rustic Garden welcomes you
warmly to enjoy a beautiful palette of plant eye candy.
