Plants of the Design

As a painter may look at paints, garden designers look to plants to create their designs. Below are the bulbs and plants Jacqueline van der Kloet used to create our Lurie Garden’s Spring Bulb Design.

46 different bulbs are used in the design as well as three different anemones.

If you’re unable to find the plant you’re looking for here it is likely the plant was not introduced to the garden by Jacqueline van der Kloet. Please check our Plant Finder that contains all plants in the garden proper, filterable by location, season, color, etc.
