Post #7252108

It was a beautiful day here today, and I was out in the yard doing clean up. Most of my heuchera are in pretty good shape, but most of the nearby plants are gone until next spring. And the heuchs are pretty near totally buried in leaves, which I like to leave on the beds for the winter, which doesn't exactly show them off.

So, for fun, I thought I'd share my pictures from today, but I'm really looking for ideas about how to put together beds that look good until the snow sets in. What do you do when the hostas are gone?

Here's a clump of Venus, with silver scrolls in the corner.
