Hey all, looking for some planting/design suggestions for my “D” shaped flower bed. I’m in zone 6 and have mostly clay soil, which I’ve been amending each spring; this bed receives afternoon sun.
In the back is a viburnum and two David Austin shrub roses; last spring I planted 3 Munstead lavenders in the middle, but sadly they didn’t survive. And in the front are a few Balloon flowers, which I could take or leave.
I need to replace the failed lavender, was thinking with Catmint? Maybe the Cat’s Pajamas variety? Questioning what and how I should plant to finish this bed. Initially thinking 3 Catmint in front of the roses, planting in a half-moon shape this time instead of straight across? But then what to put in front of the catmint? Should I outline the paving stones with anything? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!!
