I should add that centered in front of the tree is a hosta (name unknown) that is very special because I received it at my very first roundup earlier this year. On either side are lamium (pink) which I know will set Pirl laughing because she put a hex on hers last year. :-) If it gets unruly, I'll yank it. But the little silver leaves are so pretty. I also have a dark red heuchera there (may pull that one up too and put in where it will be more visible). I had no idea this area get so much shade until I really started observing it this year. I was delighted when I discovered I had a shade garden on one side of the house (front) and a sun garden on the other. Here is the other side of the front .... trying to match colors, heights, etc. is challenging. These are knockout roses, with daisies, and petunias, and in the very back, green velvet boxwoods which are tiny now but will provide a nice backdrop later. Still have some time to fill in with annuals (but gotta hurry) because it doesn't get cold here until mid November.
