I have a flower bed on the south face of the house, between house and sidewalk, about 2, 2 1/2 feet wide by 15 feet or so. I love to plant pansies there every fall to bloom thru winter. In summer, I haven't settled on one thing there. Blackeyed susan(annual) blooming now, but will get unruly soon and dry up. Salvia farinacea got mildew and lost all bottom leaves. It gets hot in summer of course, but is convenient for watering.
Does this possibly make a good place for lilies? I'm liking the idea of tall narrow bloom. I have orange tiger lilies there doing well, and I have several new daylilies that will grow { : ^) Ruby and John} Could I get some range of bloom time going? Or would anyone have another idea? This is a March picture; the house siding is now tan, starting about three feet up.
