I've got this slope in my backyard, right next to the picnic table that I'm trying to decide what to plant there for the summer. I have a nice rhaphis palm I'm going to plant next to the steps just above that croton showing on the right, but the rest is pretty wide open. Those lillies are going to pop sometime later this spring and there is a small clivia behind those lillies that has already bloomed but I will keep in it's spot. Oh and right below that bunch of lillies will be a huge Elephant Ear, once it gets started.

Got any suggestions? I'm thinking some impatiens will look nice and I definitely like the coleus. This is a pretty shady spot but will get some direct overhead sun around noon, then that's about it, shade for the rest of the day. I'm lucky enough to have a nice canopy provide by two large Queen palms growing in that corner of the backyard. I'll post some more pics so you can get the lay of the land and see what else I have growing back there...
