This is the bed by the driveway and front door. I planted it last Sept. I am afraid the plants may be slow growing here because the redwoods lining the driveway send their roots out quite far. Redwood tree roots are very shallow, often only five or six feet deep. But they make up for it in width, sometimes extending up to 100 feet from the trunk.
But the new iris are looking good so far, they are mostly in the reds, to match the deep red huechera seen in the front left side.
I also have a couple of abutilons planted there, they bloom almost year round here.
