The only thing left to do is put down mulch (and plant my Henry Kelsey roses on the arbor), but basically the bed is done.
If I ever decide to do a bed like this again, slap me, ok? :)
The list of what is planted there:
Boltonia asteroides 'Snowbank' (Starflower) (2)
Sedum spectabile 'Neon' (Stonecrop) (4)
Leucanthemum superbum 'Alaska' (Shasta Daisy) (2)
Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus' (Zebra Grass) (2)
Coreopsis verticillata 'Zagreb' (4)
Coreopsis grandiflora 'Early Sunrise' (4)
Nepeta x faassenii 'Blue Wonder' (Catmint) (4)
Liatris spicata 'Floristan Violet' (Blazing Star or Gayfeather) (2)
Centranthus ruber (Valerian) (6)
Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell' (Daylily) (7)
The plants are small, so it looks really bare right now, but some of these are HUGE perennials (like the Boltonia) so it will eventually fill in nicely.
I'll post a few pics of the finished bed now. This first one is from a distance so you can see where on the property I located it.
The (almost) finished bed
I moved the arbor over a bit since I didn't care for the way I had it. I had to move a few plants, too. Here is a comparison pic of before and after. Same angle, but the second was taken after dusk so the shutter stayed open too long and blurred it. You can still see where I moved the arbor, though.
I am VERY sore today :(
That really turned out well! Good Job!
Oh wow! That's going to be so pretty!
