another bed in front of the house on top - big rock seat surrounded by echi's and 4 viburnum in back - in the back middle of the Vib's is a purple smoke bush that needs to grow up - i've planted 3 hardy hibiscus in back of the seat - there is also sedum in front of the echi's - need to bring up lots of dirt to expand the bed to move the front two vibs and create a walkway to the seat - sedum struggle here - underneath is our septic system and the builder was generous in providing a solid 3" of top soil - so everything grown here need a raised bed and lots of water
