the front Welcome garden in mid-August 2013

IMG_0489-001

Above: lilies, yarrow, phlox, daylilies and veronica are blooming in the front welcome garden in August.

(It's been a while, I apologize.  It has been a busy summer with not much time for blogging.  I'll keep posting picture updates of what's blooming in the garden, but if you're looking for gardening help you'll have to browse through my archives a little.)

I'm particularly happy with my ninebark Coppertina, whose foliage colour is standout, below.  It requires nothing from me except a little trim in late winter.  My new mantra: plant more shrubs!

So pretty! I agree, that ninebark is a stunner! :)

I am all about shrubs! I especially like the ones that can be drastically pruned when necessary! I am planning on lots-whenever I get the fence up!
