A tsunami of flowers washes over the southern end of Parc du Denantou, evoking the waters of the lake.
This 1,700-square-meter wave features species that flower between June and October, while the blend of plant types—20% grasses and 80% flowering varieties— creates the impression of a natural wildflower meadow. The grasses are the green binder that holds the wave together as the flowers come and go with the changing seasons.
Nestled among the annual perennials are around 15,000 biennial perennial seedlings, grown in cells and arranged in a pattern that follows the rise and fall of the wave, while just four flowering varieties render the wave’s shadows, foam and other details. The choice of perennials ensures that this garden will live on well into the future, in keeping with sustainable green-space management practices.
