My goodness, what exciting projects you all have planned. Very interested to see your progress next season. Sure sounds like a ton of work but I'm sure the results will be worth all the sore muscles.
Seander I love your project but be careful with the golden agastache, I took mine out because it re-seeds like crazy. I also have Blue Fortune and that one is much better behaved although it doesn't have the golden foliage. The flowers on Golden agastache are not as nice in my opinion either. The clematis VV is as Victor says really in the purple shades but I was very impressed with it in its first year. It grew over 6' and bloomed for an extended time.
I am glad to hear about Chard. Pearls and Little Henry, also will look into Ogon spirea, golden Dawn Redwood and the other golden berry viburnum. All this talk of new projects makes spring seem a bit closer until you look out the window that is, some great ideas to file away for the future if you all don't mind a theft of inspiration or two. I think more lawn might disappear after all. :)
