FLOWERS

Knox had many gardens on his estate, unfortunately we do not know the content of many of those gardens. We do know that he ordered Composition Heads Roses, Composition Roses, Harrivan Hearts, and Spanish Hearts. Knox also purchased Bleeding Hearts.

Bleeding Hearts: Bleeding Hearts are perennials that love shade. They usually do best in shade gardens with other flowering plants. The plant gets its name from its flowers which are heart shaped and either pink or white with a darker pink or red color at the bottom. They appear in April or May. ¹
