We lost a lot of boxwood in the drought this year. The sprinklers were not hitting them. So we decided to replant the front of one of our old shade gardens.
Kendel moved the Zephyranthes, rain lilies, and made them a border. Since this is a dry spot we chose plants that could handle drought.
We put in several ShiShi Gashira Camellia sasanquas. We enjoy the glowing flowers in winter. The shrubs should reach only 4 feet in height so they won't hide the Oakleaf hydrangea in the bed behind.
We love the cool season Euphorbias. Ascot Rainbow is particularly attractive with variegated foliage that blushes on the tips in cold weather. It should like this spot with morning sun, then shade the rest of the day.
We will post a photo of this bed in the summer so you can see how it is progressing.
