Side Garden Bed

May 9, 2011


Side Bed - Before pic
Side Bed With Wiener Dog - After pic


This bed was started in 2009 and professionally mulched/edged in April of 2011. I have no idea where I got the lime-green dogwood in the lower corner, but doesn't it look pretty against the dark mulch? I hate the overused word "pops" but it really does. By the way, this is not mulch in the Before pic but winter-dead weeds.

Summer 2010

This garden includes:
  • Red twig dogwood
  • Wild orange daylily
  • Lamb's ear
  • Yellow yarrow
  • Boxwood
  • Barberry
  • Purple coneflower
  • Liatris
  • Mystery purple salvias
  • White coneflower
  • Shasta daisies
  • Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil' (ha, I found the Latin name!)
  • Variegated iris
  • A dwarf conical evergreen
