Underneath our Japanese Maple is a small planting of Sunny Knockouts, lilies, caladiums, hosta, iris and white vinca. It gets just enough sun for roses but is shaded enough to allow the other plants to thrive. We placed a bunny in this area to keep watch.

Thanks Paul. I like to experiment with mixed planting beds. A neighbor gave me some lilies which I assumed were low growing. I planted in the front of the bed. They turned out to be knee high ditch lilies which should have gone in the back…. Oh, well. I will move them in the falll…. Ha!
