Re: where to start


Michelle:
If your  flower bed is afforded some protection by being up against your
house, I can recommend dicentra spectabilis, the old fashioned bleeding
heart.   I have a bed on the east side of my house with about 6 of them
at the very back.  In spring, they make a stunning backdrop for the
daffodils and hyacinths.
In between each one, I have planted rubrum lilies.  And  yellow  and
peach daylilies in front of the bleeding hearts and behind the daffodils.
 
I usually overplant the daffodils with white petunias.  Daffodil bulbs
don't like to be watered in the summertime and none of these require much
in the way of summer water.
