Perennial Gardens in the Hamptons, NY

Designing and Maintaining Hamptons Gardens That Perform All Season

The Hamptons has a garden culture unlike anywhere else in the country. The perennial borders, the meadow plantings, the perfectly composed seasonal pots flanking every entry — these details are what elevate a beautiful property into an unforgettable one. Oceanview Landscapes has been designing, planting, and maintaining perennial gardens across the Hamptons for 25years. Our horticulturalists have deep knowledge of the species that thrive on the East End —the plants that stand up to salt air, hold their own against deer, and put on a show from May through October.

Perennial Garden Design & Planting

A great perennial garden isn't just about the plants — it's about the sequence. Our horticulturalists design borders and garden beds with seasonal succession built in — so there is always something beautiful happening on your property. Strong performers for Hamptons perennial gardens:

  • Nepeta (catmint) — deer-resistant, long-blooming, effortlessly graceful
  • Salvia nemorosa and perennial salvias — heat-tolerant, excellent in borders
  • Echinacea (coneflower) — native, tough, outstanding late summer color
  • Rudbeckia — golden late summer and fall blooms, thrives in sandy soil
  • Ornamental grasses — movement, winter interest, and structural presence
  • Agastache — fragrant, deer-resistant, long-blooming
  • Baptisia — stunning spring bloom, deer-resistant, drought-tolerant once established
  • Peonies — a Hamptons garden classic, spectacular in June

Seasonal Container & Pot Programs

Our team designs and installs seasonal potscapes for spring, summer, and fall — and handles all mid-season replanting, fertilization, and grooming. We work with your home's architecture and color palette to create arrangements that look intentional and polished from installation through the last day of the season.

Cutting Gardens

For clients who love fresh flowers in the house through the summer and fall, a dedicated cutting garden is one of the most rewarding additions to a Hamptons property. We design for succession — something to cut every week from late May through October — and handle all installation, maintenance, and seasonal changeover.

What perennials are most deer-resistant in the Hamptons?

+

The most reliably deer-resistant choices include nepeta, salvia, ornamental grasses, lavender, agastache, Russian sage, and baptisia. We always design with deer pressure in mind and can recommend a full palette based on your property's conditions.

How many times a year are container arrangements replanted?

+

We typically replant containers three times per year — spring, summer, and fall — to maintain peak appearance. We handle fertilization and grooming between replanting.

Can you design a new perennial garden from scratch?

+

Yes. We design and install new perennial gardens, cutting gardens, and ornamental borders, and we maintain them on your regular schedule.

Do you offer ongoing garden maintenance alongside planting?

+

Yes — most garden clients are also on a maintenance program, coordinated under one property manager for continuity.
