Sprucing up the Front

Here is a new area I dabbled in today with the addition of a new Cecile Brunner Rose (see post below).

Anyhow, this is a photo of the area. I've torn out the tall red plants and several sea lavendar to open the area up. I replanted many of the lavendar plants after I divided them, plus, dug in some new transplants of geranium, alternating sides of the walkway. I'd like to keep this area short in plantings. Plus, I've got many bulbs here, Spring and Summer that naturalize and summer/winter over. I'll be looking at several new cottage perennials to fill in the gaps soon.
The Robelini Palms will be taken out soon, and a row of tall hedge will be placed to divide and distinguish our front yard from our neighbor's.
  • Current plantings include: Shasta Daisy, Cecile Brunner Climbing Rose, Wisteria (just out of right edge of photo), Sea Lavendar, Hydrangea, Alstromeria, Bulbs: daffodils, gladiolus, freesia) Geranium, Dusty Miller, Alyssum...
