We started the seating area on Lowtown today. We don't have all the plants yet but we planted the grasses and heucheras. We used 6 stipa gigantea, 6 ampelodesmos mauritanica, 7 stipa arundinacea, 6 heuchera 'Green Spice' and 4 heuchera 'Frosted Violet'. Just 100 flowering perennials left to do now!
Next we started planting the beds in front of the leisure centre. Previously they had puny little wallflowers and weeds in them.
We have replaced them with shade-loving perennials and ferns that will be much happier here. They look better already!
This was the bed at the other side; it was possibly even worse!
We got nearly all the plants in today. We planted polystichum munitum, polypodium vulgare, geum 'Cooky', dianella 'Tas Red', heuchera 'Melting Fire' and heuchera 'Frosted Violet'.
Lots of people stopped to talk to us while we were planting and we got lots of positive comments. The heucheras were much admired and several people mentioned that they were glad to see perennials being used instead of the same old annuals everywhere.
The beds look pretty good already but we still have some hemerocallis to add.
