Finally, we can talk about the planting!!! We have been making some major progress on the outside of the house. We are slowly removing some of the last bits of the former landscaping to create a clean slate! We have got some pretty incredible workouts working outside on our house in this past month, for sure. I’ll simply tell you what we planted in the front flower bed by the porch in this post, because there is so much to share with you.
One of the first things that we actually got to plant was our little round planter in front. After the soil had breathed for a few days, I spent one morning putting in different colors and levels of grasses with a few flowers and some flowering ground cover. As these fill in, they will create different levels of height, color and texture to draw your eye up to the front door. Thankfully, the Cordylines in the back will only grow to be about 2.5' high, so you will still have a clear and open view to our front porch.
I also added the two potted arrangements to frame out the front door and draw you to the front of the house. It also provided a great pop of texture and color from the flowers.
Finally, I added some flowers to our planter box to give you something beautiful to look at up front. The Fushia flowers in the pot have beautiful little pink & purple flowers, and are about to explode in blooms! The flowers in the planter also just provide some nice color to the front. Thankfully, everything we have planted is really cold hardy, and will come back next year!
We are really loving that things are coming together in this area of our yard. I will share more of what we have done in our next post!
