Almost the Last of the Fall Shipments

I finally planted Calluna "H.E. Beale" (Scotch Heather) and Calluna vulgaris "Winter Chocolate" as well as 2 Grand Canyon Sunset tall bearded iris rhizomes. One of the Lavandula Hidcote Superior which looked a bit ragged and sad seems to be doing okay... there is new growth at the base of the plant, so I'm relieved.

The Geranium Lancastriense and are still alive and are, hopefully, settling in. The Summers Memories Mix  Hollyhock are also looking good. The one that I started from seed still has green leaves. I wonder if it will flower next year...

Achillea Oertel's Rose has also put out some more green growth... a good sign.

Now to find time to plant the Stella de Oro Daylilly!

Pictures!

Here are some pictures of the work that was done on Sunday...

Cleaned up the semi-circular planting bed too...

South side:

Echinacea Prarie Splendor and Primroses were added in the Spring

North Side:

Lavender was also added this year; the primroses look more lush on this side 

Middle of the Bed:

It's a bit hard to tell from here, but you can see the sad looking
transplanted peony between the sedum and Russian Sage

Cleopatra Foxtail Lilies

Planted 3 of the Cleopatra Foxtail lilies which came in the mail last week yesterday. I snuck in an allium bulb and planted some purple bearded irises next to them. The catmints were moved up to the front of the planting bed. It now has a more prominent place along the new path and looks good there. The broom, which never bloomed, was moved next to the new lavenders as well as the sedum which is currently in bloom.

Here is a before picture as well as my plans. I won't be planting the daylily since the catmint is taking up more room than expected. I'll post an update picture later!

Update

I forgot to mention that C and I also moved some peonies planted by a previous gardener to the half round bed in the back, in front of the garage. It was sitting under the pine tree near the mailbox and had bloomed only once after C cut down a couple of young shade (weed?) trees. I am hoping that moving it out to a sunnier area will help it to rebloom in future springs to come.
