I'm preparing a small (around 2 1/2 X 6) piece of garden for
new plants but don't know what would do well in the spot.
Now there are hundreds of grape hyacinth bulbs and oriental
poppies but during the summer these disappear. I want
something that would withstand low watering but would have
color, would not be too large and would remain through the
summer. Some kind of salvia for example, would be great,
and something for the understory.
The spot gets very hot late western sun, some mid-day sun
but also can be in deep, deep shade because of a huge
redwood that shades the area. It also gets very dry and I'm
trying to amend the area so that it holds more water.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
