OH...OH...brain storm!!!! I GOT IT!!!! Figured it out!!!
The Dwarf Phlox will have a lovely home!!!

At the corner of my patio by the grill--and where "The Moon" ( a 24/7 light on a pole)
is situated--is also a small bed--where the main resident is Felicia's phlox.

Lower down--in front of it--all I have are some annuals and , on each side, a ?????
(brain burp) perennial. You will see it in the picture...AHH--gotta love Sr. moments....

I will re-locate the shade perennials, dig up and re-plant the annuals (or get rid of them)
and i will have 2 wonderful spots, of dappled light, for the Dwarf Phlox.

It will be so cool! Tall Felicia's Phlox in center back--and the dwarf ones
on either side in front of it.
YES! Misson accomplished!!! I am SOOO smart!!!!!!!!!!!....:o)

Here are the pictures.

1--The bed in question--hence to be called "The Moon Bed"--as we have
always called the round ball light on the top of the pole "The Moon"...
There are 2 old Jap. Hollies on either side of the patio corner--and the Moon bed on the corner.
I even edged it last year! Looks purdy!

2--A close-iup of the plants at the very corner. Great spots on either side for the Dwarf ohlox.

3--This is the (2) perennials i wil have to re-locate. Hmmmm...where--oh, where?
The name of these????? I am just pulling a blank!

Will grt to it as tome and weather permit.....will take pictures.
