The Sunny Corner Bed Design by Kelly Schroeder.
This garden bed is designed to be tucked up against the corner of a fence or into a bright nook against the house. Varieties are selected for optimum bloom time interspersed with bold foliage, texture and colour. This garden will be a colourful delight all season long, from late spring until autumn.
The Heucherella will appreciate a little bit of protection from the hot sun otherwise its foliage may not be happy. All other plants should tolerate full exposure well.
