Fall planting at 58th street

On East 58th Street, Trillium Landscape Design used a thoughtful mix of native and non-native plant material to create a dynamic and sustainable landscape. The design emphasizes four-season interest, vibrant color, and textural variety, while playing with height and the natural movement of grasses and shrubs.

The inclusion of native plants supports local ecology and sustainability by attracting pollinators such as butterflies, bees, and birds. Seed heads from species like Rudbeckia provide food and habitat, while evergreens such as Polystichum polyblepharum (Tassel Fern) ensure structure and greenery throughout the year. If you look closely, you’ll also see Asclepias (Milkweed), which we’ve intentionally left in order to support monarch butterflies and other beneficial insects as part of the garden’s evolving ecosystem.
