These can add a lot of color and interest....a lovely fern hanging from one of the trees, A Spider Plant---an Ivy--almost anything. Of course--they would have to be brought in and out. Is she up to that??? I use a lot of Coleus in my beds....Take a look. This may be from a few years ago.... --Coleus of every color would be beautiful! There are so many varieties now. I love them the way they all grow together to create a canopy of color. --Caladiums are gorgeous! Of course--you need to dig them up. --Begonia Grandis is a perennial--and blooms late in the summer. --Ferns--OH so pretty! You caan see all these in Picture #3. --Astilbes--if you have a moist, rich earth spot. (#4) --Endless Summer Hydrangea--a great anchor plant Hope this gives you some ideas. Gita |
