This property is in an enchanted section of the development, where summers are shaded with a nice breeze. I was called to help bring some color to an all green color scheme.
The conditions were a transition of sun to part sun. Morning sun and late afternoon shade.
Goal:
- Clean out and relocate some of the liriope
- Create more of a welcoming entrance at the steps
- Lots of color: limes, blues, and purple
- A “less is more” look
- Low maintenance
- Blooms spanning multiple seasons
