Front Bed Done

I have finished planting the front bed. Now it is a case of waiting for the perennials to grow.

View of the bed from the driveway. There are 2 hostas that were here, but were always eaten by the deer. Two panicle hydrangeas and one climbing hydrangea, a cinnamon fern, two fringed bleeding hearts, two lamium, a sedum, an aster, several Lady's Mantle, and some New Guinea impatiens added to give some colour.

At the far end near the driveway, I have 4 columbine in different colours. Right now, the yellow one is blooming and it is lovely.

A closer shot of the new hydrangea, this one is Little Quick Fire. It has blooms forming on it now, they emerge white and then fade in the fall to pink and then to a bright rosy red. It will only get 5 to 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide, so it can have this corner of the bed to itself. I have only put annuals close to it for now. This pampered shrub will get about 3 hours of morning light, the rest of the day it sits in bright light, but it doesn't get shaded until late in the day.
