Does anyone else name their beds? I still haven't found the right name for my main border but I'll know it when I hear it.
This is a photo of "The Grotto" with design questions to follow:
I am looking for a suggestion for a smaller climbing perennial plant to grow up over the visible area of the window well on the right. I have a small wire trellis you can see in the photo but I would be willing to attach chicken wire and tie the plant if needed. I've been using morning glories in this place but they are hard to control and late to fill in.
Colors: The flowers in this garden are yellow, purple and white. The foliage is green, with a heavy emphasis on yellow tones and variegated foliage. A few silver and blue accents here and there, mostly on the right.
Exposure/Culture: Western exposure. Morning shade. 5-7 hours of sun. Mostly unamended clay. Drip system watering.
Future Plans: I am moving the yellow columbine(from Skybird) after it finishes blooming, from the right to the left below the Iceberg climbing rose and replacing it with something shorter. Any suggestions? I will be straightening up the flagstone pathway. I will also be putting in an iron arch to support those roses hopefully before the season ends. I have foxglove growing against the back fence which will hopefully grow taller and bloom next year in front of an antique door I plan to set against that back fence to frame the area.
I would love any suggestion, critique or constructive criticism you guys have to offer!
