The bed behind the house and next to the garage had never been given the attention it deserved so in 2015 we decided to remedy that.
We decided that we needed to inject a splash of colour and so decided to create a red and yellow bed.
Our first tasks were to remove all the existing plants, slightly reshape the bed and improve the soil.
At each end of the bed was a mature camellia, both which we wanted to keep. One is pale pink which isn't really in keeping with the colour theme but as it flowers before the perennials it isn't a big problem. Both camellias will grow huge id we let them and so regular trimiing is necessary.
