Replanted the Daylily Area

Remember the area I showed you Saturday where we removed 5 wheelbarrow loads of daylilies?

I replanted this area with a Ninebark shrub.
 
I put some Lamb's Ear on each side of the Ninebark because I think the silver color will do wonders to brighten this area.

Speaking of Lamb's Ear, I plopped an aqua orb  in front of this area:

Here is a view from a bit further back:
 
This white poppy is on the opposite side, almost directly across from the aqua orb:
 

My purple allium has lost its color for this season.  Later I will show another allium that has just begun to flower--it is yellow and looks totally different than the purple orb allium.

  1. I like your ninebark and lambs ear combination, all tucked in near the big tree trunk -- I think the contrast will be perfect. I just planted a Summer Wine ninebark last year, but am not sure what to put around it. So far it is at the edge of a border with green stuff (shrubs) nearby, and it just looks big and dark and hulking. Not loving it yet.

    You blue orb is a nice pop!

    1. Hi Laurrie,

      I hope you find something to plant with your Ninebark so you will enjoy it more. I just love the four I have! I added two new orbs yesterday. I will show you the second one in tomorrow's post. Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Hi Diana,
      The other allium look totally different. You would never even know they were from the same family. I hope you had a fun vacation.
