The photos and description below are from my application:
The objectives of this garden bed were to have an attractive flower bed
to appeal to people sitting nearby on the patio (or in the spa) and to attract
hummingbirds and bees (to support pollinators). In addition, we didn’t want
plants too tall to block the view or create much shade.
The Choisya ternata ‘Aztec
Pearl’ and Heuchera ‘Crimson Curl’ provide evergreen year-round structure,
along with the garden art. The fuchsias and agapanthus are attractive well into
the fall.
While several of the plants were still small, I filled in with annuals,
as shown in the photos. In 2012, I planted white wax begonias along the eastern
edge of the bed, and I planted red snapdragons in empty spaces throughout the
bed. I also had a pot with a Brugmansia
(Angel’s Trumpet) sitting on one of the boulders. The plants have now grown
enough so I no longer need to fill in with annuals.
