Picture-Worthy Perennials<\/h2>\n

Below the formal gardens of the mansion and overlooking the ponds of the Robinson Family Water Garden, the Wills Perennial Garden is home to many colorful blooms. This garden is dedicated to iris breeder and author, Jesse Wills, and displays new and traditional perennials, as well as bearded irises. A steep limestone wall provides both a habitat and background for this colorful, full-sun garden. The Wills Perennial Garden is the most stunning during the summer, when the succession of color culminates with asters, salvias, perennial sunflowers, rudbeckias, and ornamental grasses.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
