My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    The pink puff ball flowers are pink thrift. Armeria maritima, also known as sea pink or pink sea thrift. Also deer resistant and drought tollerant. They look like fine pin cushions, about 1-2' in diameter and 4-6" tall with the flowers about 12" tall.

      The lavender shown is Hidcote and Munstead varieties. They have slightly different bloom times and colors, and both are smallish in nature rarely growing over 3'. Also deer and drought proof with silver foliage.

      Thank you so much! Last question: what are the bouquets of purple flowers? they look like small alliums but I do not think they are alliums!

      One more question - the last one, i promise! Which Ceanothus cultivars would you recommend in this type of settings?

      I enjoy your questions and comments. I use the cultivars Victoria and Concha as well as others, but these are compact and grow to about 6'.

      The purple flowers are red mother of thyme, Thymus serphyllum. It is a creeping ground cover that is drought and deer resistant. It blooms about 2-3 months from May through June.

      Thanks for your patience! I meant the taller pink bouquets . They look like Allium Schoenoprasum but i am not sure they are....
