We've got a long bed in front of the house that, for the sake of expediency, we planted with Lantanas a couple years ago. They thrive there but it also leaves the bed looking pretty ugly with nothing in it for 5-6 months. In the spring we're going to change that. We'll use an Artemesia (2nd down on the left) at both ends and in the middle. To the sides of those we'll plant several Pittisporum (center top and right) and to the sides of those, a Texas Sage (bottom center). The front of the spaces in between will be filled with Ruellia (bottom left) and behind those will be Plumbagos (center and center right). Hopefully that will give us a nice looking bed with a color scheme of silver/gray, dark green, and purples! Can't wait! Saturday, November 22, 2008
