This new planting doesn't look like anything right now! But next summer, there will be purples, oranges and yellows in this bed. There are three orange Chicago daylilies (rescued from the back garden where the deer kept eating the buds!), three butterfly weed (planted from seed - a mix of orange and yellow), Zebrina malva (purple, also planted from seed), Zagreb coreopsis (yellow), an ornamental oregano (purple) and echinops (blue). Adding a touch of white - rattlesnake master and a couple of white coneflowers. All of these plants do well in dry, sunny sites.
This is one side of the border on the edge of the veggie garden. I still need to clean out the other side and decide what to plant. All of the plants on this side are summer blooming - will try to add some spring blooms to the other side.
