I found my answer. I knew it was a stupid question!

There are no stupid questions! So...what did you do?
I would move them now and divide them if I couldn't wait until fall.

Liriope is about the toughest stuff you can plant. If you water it in when you replant it it should have no difficulty surviving. Have you had enough rain to dig the holes, though?

I guess digging would be a little tricky right now.. anyway - here's a picture. I'd love some help on this. The last pic on the right is the area I need to work on, and it was taken at an angle instead of straight on. In any case, if anyone can make sense of it and give me some ideas .... I thought filling in would be easier than digging, then once I finished the liriope I wasn't sure what I was going to do. This entire area was covered in ivy when I moved in, so I pulled up most of it, then put down weed cover and threw some chips on top. Obviously I'm not going to be in any magazines, but I do want to do something. That corner is the only spot that gets any sun because my front yard is completely shaded by oak trees.

How about some bright color in that sunny spot? the carpet or knock out roses would give a big punch of long lasting color. They pair nicely with daylilies and something purple like salvia 'may night' or 'homestead' verbena.

I like ilikemud's suggestions.

Thanks for the feedback. I can't wait to dress up that corner because, again, I have a yard full of shade! I planted a small knock out rose already, it's hard to see in the picture. I don't have that much time to devote to it right now so I'm having to work on it as I can. Hopefully by this time next year it will at least not look so drab and pitiful. Unfortunately I don't have permission to get rid of the honeysuckle, or the fence, for that matter. Anyway, I like the idea of salvia and verbena, but I'm not crazy about daylilies there for some reason. A friend mentioned loropetalum, but I'm not sure about that either. It won't be hard to make it look better than it does now, but I do want to plant things that go well together, so I appreciate your ideas.

The Knock Out will be large one day (4'x4') and instead of mixing in a bunch of different shrubs I'd stick with the roses, they are more effective on mass.
One reason I mentioned Daylilies is because the mimic the shape of the lirope, maybe some Iris instead. I like to repeat form from one area of the garden to another, it helps draw the eye along.

ILM are you saying I should plant more roses of a different type? I planted the knock out because I love its resiliency and low maintenance, and I know it gets fairly big -- I really like the idea of going with more roses, but I wouldn't know where to start. As for continuity, that's what I'm going for, so I really appreciate all the input.

I can't really tell from the photo how large this one sunny spot is. But unless it's a really large area I would stay with the same rose you have (knock out) maybe add 2 more.

I have other roses in my gardens (mostly climbers) but I'm a big fan of the knock-out! Better living through breeding rather than chemicals!!
