This morning we almost finished the area between the golf course and the croquet lawn. We planted 3 Clinopodium georgianum and 3 Serissas (Snow Rose, Variegated and Variegated Pink). We also planted the Clethra alnifolia near the corner of the raised bed where it drains out.

Planting

Planted the 4 Junipers from McCorkles as a continuation of the other 8, 1 one the retaining wall side to make a run of 5 and three on the opposite side (making 7). Also put the second Variegated Chinese Privet on the retaining wall side to balance the one on the other side. Since they are staggered, I will eventually move the Swift Creek to provide a third. Planted the Miss Jilene Hibiscus from Nurseries Caroliniana next to the Saucer Magnolia.
