Flower Bed Location
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 6:22 pm
I have planted a flower bed in my front yard, zone 6a (South Eastern Massachusetts). There are two trees the bed is built around, a Maple and a Birch. It seemed the top 3 inches of the bed were composed of mulch and MANY roots from the trees, moreso on the Maple side than the Birch. There are three Hostas around each tree and Artist Blue Violet Ageratums on the outside corners of the Hostas. One the inside of the trees are two Jackie Verbascum plants. On the back half is an alternating row of Texas Bluebell Mix Lisianthus Russellianus mix and Red New Guinea Impatients with an Orange Symphony Oseterospermum hybrid in the middle of the row. On the front half of the bed is another row of the Impatients and Texas Bluebells and this time with two Orange Symphonies on the ends of that row. Just wondering what people think of the arangement and selection of plants. With the bed being so overrun by a root system will the plants survive? Also are there any plants in there that will die due to the winter season around here? Thank you for all your help
