Okay, I have tons still left to do and this is purely a temporary fix, here is a picture taken a few days ago. I found the mums on a super sale. They will have to be thinned and some taken out, but for the instant effect I was looking for, they worked well. I took out 4 dwarf yaupons and put in 3 Lorepetlums. Everything is still a work in progress. Eventually, I want to widen the bed down the path a little and actually reshape the path a little. Add some river rock along the sides to be the border, etc. This list goes on and on. For now, I need suggestions on what to put in when I pull out the waxleafs that are in the back. I considered adding double knockouts in the back because I think the colors would contrast well against Lorepetlums, but I am concerned that they will not get enough sun with the large oak tree blocking a good bit of the sun. Not exactly sure who much sun that spot gets, but I know it is not anywhere close 6 hours. I can move the lorepetlums to the back and put something else in front, but I do want it to be evergreen, even if it doesn't have a tremendous bloom season. I also considered putting hibiscus in the back for the great blooms, but then first freeze they will totally defoliate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
