Thank you, nuts! We didn't design them - they came with the house and the original owners had them planted with small (ugly) shrubs and all subsequent owners retained them. We ripped them out the first month we were here, 20 years ago. I've tried many plants that didn't work or didn't blend and now, maybe, I've got it right. To think that using my leftover coleuses from last year saved the day and was the answer I had been searching for is amusing to me.

The gaillardia doubled so the matching brick planter got half. Then each produced a baby plant so they stayed in each planter.
