Sidewalk garden

 
I have been adding dark purple petunias to this area - they contrast so well with the lime green spireas. One of these years, I want to try a hot pink!

 
This area gets hot sun and little moisture and is a challenge to keep looking good. This year I found some Gomphrena Fireworks and thought I would give them a try. They are tall and are supposed to do well in hot and dry conditions. I'll post more pictures as they grow.  I added the regular variety of gomphrena to this area, too. The common name is globe amaranth. They grow well in dry areas.
