Perenial Bed Sunday update
Brought over some Jacob's ladder (mid row) and some Purple Coneflower (back row). Plans are to get some more Lily -of-the-Valley (front row) and some Maltese Cross (back row) later in the week. To round it all out I'm going to try and find some Bee Balm (mid row) at the greenhouse, and that should be MORE than good enough for this bed for this year. Just a bit more cleaning up, but otherwise I'll let it grow and see how it looks. Most of the stuff that I've planted it pretty bird and butterfly friendly, so hopefully I'll see alot of them this summer. Also, I'm curious to see how the color come together. So far I've got all blues, whites and pinks, and no yellows that I know of (which I was trying to stay away from). Hopefully it will be nice. I can't remember what color the Lupines are... purple and white I think.I think I've identified the mystery shrub in the back as Ninebark - it is supposed to get white flowers and berries later in the summer but I don't remember from last year at all. Also found what looks like a young Hydrangea which I plan to move this weekend... maybe outside the bed beside the fence if it's going to grow tall.
Probably won't do much this week, but I'll update this weekend.
