Earlier this summer we planted most of the space between the house and the new patio. The area around the lounge patio was fully planted, but the area around the eating patio had a few voids that needed to get filled in. Before our big summer parties, we decided it was time to fill those voids!
So we headed back to the nursery to get 4-5 perennials to fill in those spaces. I had some thoughts in mind, but nothing concrete. So we just wandered around a while until we filled our cart with some nice plants to fill in the bare spaces. I am usually more a planner when it comes to planting, but we decided to wing this trip! whoa!
I couldn't find the mini Hosta I wanted, so we went with a similar one for the one side. For the other side we went with a Pink Astilbe, a Zing Rose, and Coral Bell. There were a variety of Coral Bells and Colin picked "Stainless Steel" which has a nice gray tone to it. I tried to get plants that had contrast in their foliage so there was some interest even when they aren't blooming.
I just went outside to take real after pics, but the sun wasn't cooperating, so Ill post some more another time. : )
There are still plenty of areas that need new plants, but it is nice that all the spaces between the house and patio are filled in.
