Bring the Masters to Your Own Backyard
Daydreaming about The Masters®? This golf course is one of a kind, with camellias and dogwood blooms off the 10th fairway, wild azaleas around every corner, and southern magnolias gracefully hanging above rolling grassy hills.
Whether you’re a golf enthusiast or a plant enthusiast, let ServeScape bring the landscapes of the Augusta National Golf Club℠ into your own backyard. Here are seven of our favorites from the Amen Corner Backyard Collection.
1. First Editions® Berry White® Hydrangea
Berry White Hydrangea is an upright deciduous shrub that blooms thick white flowers. These flowers progress to pink, then intense raspberry, and finally wine-red throughout the season and persist until frost, attracting butterflies.
While it can tolerate full sun, its best blooms are in part sun and rich, moist well-drained acidic soils.
2. Cherokee Princess Dogwood
Cherokee Princess Dogwood is a low-branching, small native deciduous tree. Its leaves are a dark green that turns rust-red in fall. The tree is also a heavy bloomer with large clusters of flowers with white brackets that bloom in early spring. It attracts butterflies, specialized bees, and songbirds.
It’s an early nectar source for hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. The dense growth provides shelter in winter.
3. Encore® Autumn Sundance™ Azalea
At Augusta National, beautiful azaleas bloom brilliantly on the 13th hole. Autumn Sundance Encore Azalea is a gorgeous evergreen azalea shrub with small dark green leaves that gain a red hue in winter.
The large, three-inch deep fuchsia pink flowers bloom mid-spring and continue to re-bloom into fall. Azaleas are excellent pollination and butterfly attractors.
4. Gumpo White Azalea
Gumpo White Azalea is a late-blooming hybrid evergreen shrub with small leaves and large ruffled white flowers that begin to bloom in late spring to fall. Cold winters may freeze the flower buds and reduce bloom come spring, and leaves may experience winter burn.
5. Bracken's Brown Beauty Southern Magnolia
There is perhaps no greater Southern staple than the magnolia tree. Bracken's Brown Beauty is a pyramidal evergreen tree with large 5-6” creamy white, fragrant, cup-shaped flowers that bloom in summer. The rich light green leaves have cinnamon-brown undersides.
6. Loblolly Pine
The Loblolly Pine, scientifically known as Pinus taeda, is a large and fast-growing evergreen tree native to the southeastern United States. It is one of the most commercially important pine species in the region and is commonly found in forests, plantations, and landscapes.
The needles of the Loblolly Pine are long and slender, measuring about 6 to 9 inches in length. They are arranged in bundles of three and have a dark green color. The needles persist for about two to three years before shedding.
7. George Taber Azalea
George Taber Azalea is a larger and dense reblooming evergreen shrub. It has light green leaves and an early, heavy boom of pale white-pink flowers with darker pink throats through spring. It has smaller blooms again in fall.
This azalea is a very versatile plant that prefers partial sun with acidic rich, well-drained soils. Azaleas are excellent pollination and butterfly attractors.
