North Garden – Felicia Border and Leymus Bed

The Leymus Bed has the wonderful virtue of containing a beautiful but rampant grass, Leymus arenaria.

Add a little valerian and a backdrop of the rampant rambler rose Kiftsgate and you have a good picture:

In front of the Leymus is the Felicia Bed – planted with seven or eight hybrid musk roses, Felicia –

The scent on a warm day spreads around and competes with the nearby Eleagnus angustifolia.

But the bed properly comes into its own when the Japanese Anemones flower along with Felicia’s second flowering.
