Screened porch -
Hydranga has so many colors going on - pink - purple - slight blues - really cant wait for full mopheads -
Red Planter growing well - cant wait till it really fills in and growns up.
This year I replace some areas with River Rocks - they look great - are certainly low maintenance and help greatly with water control coming down the hill. Switched to pine needles instead of black mulch. Dye would run off and into the pool!
