Well, lookey here! I'm actually earlier than I said I'd be! Mind you, this rarely - if ever - happens, LOL.

Like I said, the plants are not really mature in the bed, so please take that into consideration. The grasses won't likely get a whole lot taller - a bit, but mostly they should just fill out and look fluffier. The sedum will eventually need to be thinned out. I planted them closely to make up for the puny-ness factor ;) The lamb's ear is 'Helen von Stein' and never blooms or gets leggy. It stays just like in the pic.

I like the shape of this bed, though. It looks nice for folks walking down the sidewalk and has something to look at most of the time. I put a few annuals in for summer impact, fall is as you see it here, winter isn't too bad since I leave the sedum and grasse up and the moss phlox and shrubs are evergreen, spring has the moss phlox and some crocus, early summer has some creeping baby's breath and the sedum start to look like little green nosegays. It works for me considering it's really a small space. Hope you like it! :)
