crocosmia HELP!
Comments (2)They don't seem to mind moving at all. I usually wait until frost takes the tops so the foliage can be snapped off and the bulb replanted any time it's convenient. Planting them about 4 inches deep will result in foliage that doesn't flop as badly. They will still lean on any companions and heave themselves out of the ground next season.

Comments (15)Sorry for the delayed time in responding. It took longer than we anticipated for the work to begin (and be completed). We look forward to seeing the front plantings fill in over the next couple of years as these plants grow. Everything in the garden beds are on a drip system, are deer resistant, and hopefully will do well as they mature. I’ve also included a picture of the back yard which underwent the biggest transformation. It was all grass with plastic borders, and now it’s an area we will actually use. Will be on the hunt for outdoor furniture, but in the meantime, this is how is looks. We are very pleased! Thanks to everyone who offered their advice - Houzz is such a great community....See MoreLandscape help, please.
Comments (11)I don't quite understand what you mean by two layers. That said, I like Liatris. It will make a nice contrast in shape and color to your coralberries. In general, you want to focus on a rhythm, rather than lines. I might punch up the Liatris with a hot pink echinacea. For spring color, you can add moss phlox and bulbs. In general, I think you just need more plants....See MoreLandscape help please
Comments (13)For low maintenance, I would go with low-growing evergreens that don't require pruning and don't block any windows. You can always tuck in some annuals for more color during the growing season....See MoreUser
