I tried to do a bit of a formal planting scheme for Nu in here as he doesn't always like the cottage style that I do...I don't know how formal it is. I used New Guinea impatiens for edging, and closely placed Gazania in the middle as foreground for the perennials. The two lily plants were great, but both were done blooming by August and looked a bit dry through the season. The coleus should have been in a place with less sun as it faded. Rudbeckia started blooming late July. Astilbe is looking a bit wilty here, I think it might be too hot for it. I love the crocosmia in here, but not the bachelor's button...I don't think I like it anywhere! This bed probably needs more annuals and sun-loving plants in it next year.
