Features Flower Carpet at Ladera Ranch

This is how the article in the online magazine Landscape Design/Build began, “Philip Heald had a problem. The Tulbaghia fragrans that had been specified wasn’t performing as hoped. Heald is the construction manager for Ladera Ranch, a 4,000-acre master-planned hometown in South Orange County, CA. The tulbaghia was one of the plants slated to anchor several key public areas of the six villages and three districts that make up the award-winning community.”

The article goes on to describe how Heald and his team were reluctant to try Flower Carpet at first, thinking a rose couldn’t possibly be a tough enough, low-maintenance performer.

But they did try it and were impressed from the start.

Flower Carpet Red soon became their signature plant, now with “more than 55,000 in the ground,” all healthy and free of black spot and other rose blights.
