The customer wanted to plant these bushes by their seawall. But, when they started digging, they hit tiebacks less than 12" deep. So... enter GreenStone. We made bottomless planters! that way the bushes had PLENTY of soil depth to get started AND they could root into the natural earth below which would allow them to grow large enough to achieve the backyard privacy the homeowner wanted in the first place check out lizard

Hi Anna,The tall, slender palms are Alexander Palms. They grow to about 20 feet. Alexanders are great around pools because they're self cleaning, no need to get on a ladder and trim dead palm fronds. They're also great in court yards or small uncovered areas because they tend to grow straight up.

Hydrangea, Heliotrope and Ajuga are the 3 main plants in the bed.
The plants in this border are: front row - a collection of hostas (the larger leaved plants) the grass is Hakonechloa macra ‘All Gold’, the mass of green under one of the hostas is Soleirolia soleirolii (Common name: Baby's tears), the little gold plant is golden oxalis, a fern (I have to look up the variety I put in...can't remember the latin name right now). In the back row I put in Tricyrtis (Common name toad lily). Acanthus mollis , and an evergreen azalea (can't remember the variety). I'm not sure if you can grow hostas in all of Georgia....here's a link to a site that gives you specific information for growing hostas in parts of Georgia. http://www.gahosta.org/
They look like Allum " Purple Sensation". The bulbs are planted in autumn. Mine come back year after year.
This is standard Thymus serphyllum, red mother of thyme. It may be the conditions that give it the deep purple color, or the maturity of the plants. I notice it gets darker in color each year.
Plants used in this composition are blue fescue, snow in summer ground cover (Cerastium tomentosum), Senecio mandraliscae, kalanchoe luciae, agave attenuata, bronze Carex buchananii, Yucca rostrata
The vine to the left is a Ficus pumila or Creeping Fig to the right is a pyracantha trained as a hedge.
I'm lucky to have both in question. The common names are "Blue Chalk Sticks" (Senecio) and "Flapjacks" (kalanchoe).
