It takes 24,000 flowers every year to plant this Jeff Koons sculpture at Glenstone.
,” a massive sculpture filled with flowers. But how many stop to wonder about the gardening work required to keep it so colorful? We asked Chris Ryan—the guy who has tended the foliage for the last nine years—to explain what’s involved.When Koons created “Split-Rocker” in 2000, he specified which flowers and hues he preferred, and a group of annuals that bloom for just a single growing season are chosen each year to replicate Koons’s original selection.
As with all of Glenstone’s 300 acres of landscaping, its care is entirely organic.“Split-Rocker” typically blooms from mid-May to mid-October, and Ryan’s team does its planting over about three days during the first or second week of May. It takes at least 24,000 plants to fill the sculpture; they come in trays of 72 and are from a nursery in northern Maryland. The various varieties are assigned to the appropriate section of the sculpture—essentially a floral version of paint by numbers.
