Like everyone, I have admired certain flowers every year so have yearned to have them in my garden. This is the start of my perennial garden. From left to right you can see a little of the Leucothoe that was left. The small plant in the lower left started from a seed that my son received from a friend. I'll have to check on it's name.
Next against the fence is Trollius "Gold Queen"; left to right is a Blanket Flower; Coreopsis and Salvia "Cardonna" against the fence. The last thing is a mum that was in a container last year. I cut it back and it sprouted. I'll have to read up on how to ensure it has flowers in the fall. I think you might have to do lots of "pinching back" or something.
See the bullet points below to read the features of each plant. I plan to follow up with a photo in late summer. See how much things spread and survive or NOT!
