As summer progressed a few low-growing perennials came into bloom, filling in around the Lantana: a carpet of Creeping Phlox in the spring, six inch Shasta Daisy, low growing blue Veronica all backed up with Lamb's Ear.The fat little Globe Arborvita is so constant and dependable as a beacon to not go off the driveway into the ditch and is matched on the other side.
At first the Lantana didn't prove up and I thought I might have to add something more but instead I laid cardboard on the path behind the bed and covered it with mulch. This added a frame to the bed making the bright flowers stand out.
Things were starting to look up, bank wise, but waiting for the Lantanas to reach their potential was not easy. For more inspiration I went to the other gardens and they didn't disappoint me.
