Flower Bed Update

Category: Flowers and Vegetables | Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2007 5:24 pm

Well it is almost finished. I will take some pics with a disposable and by then it will be filled out a little more. So be visual with me for a minute.

Starting at one front corner, across the back and up to the other front corner, purple perennial verbena, giant yellow daylily, purple angels trumpet, yellow hardy hibiscus, purple butterfly bush, bright yellow daylily, purple hardy chrysanthemum, another clump of giant yellow daylily. On each back corner of the bed behind the AT, I have yellow canna, and behind the mums, a yellow cassia alata or candelabra tree. In the middle I have gold marigolds and purple salvia. I have a little filling in to do, but haven't figured out what to put yet. I think I will try to get a couple of the coreopsis nana for some more gold.

Sounds like a purple and yellow Visual Delight.

Thanks Bethie, for some odd reason your statement made me realize what I need for this bed, some gold trailing lantana. The butterflies will love it.

It is mulched now and I have the sprinkler on it. It is already so hot here during the afternoons. Looks like we are skipping spring and heading right into summer again.

Sounds beautiful. I love purple with just about every other color...purple and red, purple and green, purple and yellow/gold.
Can't wait to see the pictures.
