Here's a picture of the area in question. Over the weekend, I removed the three astilbe plants in the foreground (the one closest to the house is beginning to flower, so I left it there), in addition to adding mulch and sprucing things up. I replaced the three astilbes with two lythrum plants - the southwest exposure of this area gets the brunt of the afternoon sun (although it's in shade much of the morning).
