Ok, my boyfriend's ex-wife has terrible taste so don't hold me responsible for the following pictures and plant placement.

As you can see in the picture, there are small camelias planted in the center of the flowerbed and, though I don't like the placement, I think I want to leave them because they look good in the winter and when I transplant stuff some of them always die. I don't want to risk that because they really look good in the winter.

You may also be able to see that there's this little arched area behind them that is bordered with a border grass and I want to try to work with that too. I am on a very tight budget so don't want to discard much.

My question is, what should I put in that little arch that will look good next to that window and show over the camelia bushes? And that's fairly inexpensive?

I'm thinking of liriope to edge the garden as I mentioned on another posting, unless anyone has a better idea. Also, I do like colors and flowering plants because I like fresh bouquets in my house. I think the zinnias may have been a bit too colorful but they weren't bad. Unfortunately, they grew bigger than the camelias.
