This is a spot along my patio wall where I transplanted phlox and sweet williams last year. They seem to be taking off. Later in the year, we will be rearranging the plants for height and installing a water feature.
Out front, my two lilacs, a holly, hostas, and some spent tulips and daffodils stand together. Since these pictures were taken, the lilacs have started to bloom. After they are spent, I'll need to get out the trimmers to shape things up a bit.
A rogue bachelor button migrated out of my wife's cutting garden and around the corner into the landscape rocks. It seems to be doing well. I'll have to move it back when I get the chance.
I am trying a little Asian inspired growing this year with this hardy bamboo and japanese blood grass. I haven't grown either before and they are off to a bit of a slow start. I hope warm weather helps them along.
Sambuca "Black Lace" elderberry is a new addition. With a height of 8 feet, the black foliage with pink flowers should look nice in my wife's cutting garden.
Gnorm, the gnome, guards one of my boxwoods that are growing like crazy this spring.
Another boxwood stands in one of my beds that needs weeded.
The circle out by our front porch is greening up. With the shade it gets on the north side, the host lillies and hosta do awesome. I added astilbe this year for color. Daylillies and other flowers sit in the sunny part of the bed. In the center, I added my witchhazel this year.
Well, that is enough looking for now. More projects to come as planting season continues.
