New plantings in the Front Bank

This will be a pretty simple post since we don't have any pictures, but I wanted to be sure and record the names of these new plants we put into the bank today!
  • Dianthus - Supra Crimson. A little annual that grows to about 12" tall. We added it to get some color on the bank, plus it's supposed to attract butterflies - looks like this.
  • Cistus - 'Gordon Cooper' This is a perennial - we planted it under the coral bark maple, it should spread to about 2' wide, and has these super cute little white flowers on it!
  • Geum - 'Cooky' This is a perennial with a great textured leaf and perky orange flowers.
  • Bowle's Mauve Erysimum linifolium - This is an evergreen shrub that has these amazing purple flowers on it in the spring and summer. It can get to be pretty large - 3-4 feet wide/tall!
  • Salvia 'Sizzler Purple' - another annual to help add some color to the bank. Great for hummingbirds!
