 We replaced the burning bush on the se side of the yard with Summer Sweet Vanilla spice.

I purchase red flashcaladiums for pots in front.

Purchase heart and soul caladium for park bench pots

New Perenials

 Rock Geraniums

Erodium Reichardii Bishops Form

Small Pink flowers spring summer fall
This is a low growing ground cover.  I have great luck with geraniums so we are planting it in the front west side of the perennial garden

Dianthus 

Paint the Town Magenta 

Small clump about 8"

Planted north side of the gold bush

It's a hardy to zone 4 so hopefully it will make it through the winter.  I have yet to get a dianathus to make it through several winters--except the artic fire.
