Need substitutes for Gallardia and Acanthus
11 years ago
By now I know what came back after winter--and what didn't. There may be a few surprises left, but I think the Galliardia Peach Melba and Acanthus won't be among them.
These were planted as part of a professional garden design; we did DIY install last Memorial Day. So I really want to stick with the color palette and habit of the two deceased varieties as much as possible, because they have to fit the overall plan.
The acanthus goes in a roomy space between a newly-planted Endless Summer hydrangea and a Spirea Magic carpet. There's still going be room for it for quite a while as these shrubs grow.
The Gallardia was in front of and sort of "underneath" a butterfly bush, although the area nonetheless gets tons of direct sunlight.
Any ideas? I'm just outside of Boston. I did ask the designer but she is super busy right now, and who knows when I'll hear back. Thanks!
