1--Arctostaphylos pajaroensis (plant between Echium and Salvia clevelandii)
2--Acer circinatum (for corner bed. Buy two? Three?)
3--Lupinus arboreus ‘Blue’ and change out the ‘Yellow' (and do what with yellow? Plant it where Salvia ‘Pineapple’ is?—yes!)
4--Hibiscus for deck?
5--Holodiscus?
Do:
Move Achillea to other side of Coreopsis
Move Salvia spathacea to bamboo bed.
Plant grandad’s sedum w/ Princess plant?
Plant Lavatera in front yard planter? (What else?)
Change out Heuchera sanguineum for Heuchera maxima—wait until fall/winter.
Try to get more Monardella macrantha cuttings.
Things to figure out:
1) What to do with Salvia ‘pineapple’—foliage looks too much like Princess Plant.
2) Figure out new bed. Add soil to make rise in current bed. Before new bed, level out back of yard!
3) Figure out old bed. Need vertical interest. Small tree? Second Ceanothus ‘Ray Hartman’? Fremontodendron? Have Ribes malvaceum.
4) Plant lemon tree (and free up big container)?--Where? Keep/move D. imperialis?
5) Water feature—too tacky? If so, figure out what to do w/ fountain stone.
6) Brugmansia, Philadelphus, Lonicera. Happy?
7) Cotula vs. Epilobium.
Plant Epilobium canum in cotula bed?
Epilobium:
Pro: red flowers would look excellent next to Tibouchina. Silver foliage is nice. Native. Would combine well w/ Arctostaphylos ‘Howard McMinn’
Con: Short season of red flowers? Won’t take off until next year. Maybe get cuttings and plant the area next year. Might be better off right where it is, and more in Cotula bed would be too much. Do what with cotula?
Cotula:
Pro: great flower, nice yellow, spreads, it's already there.
Con: Foliage is too low and scrubby. Dead flowers need pulling (a minor con). Non-native. Underutilizes space.
Thinking outside the box: plant something else there. One of the salvias? Need something shrubby, not too big.
8) Do what with Cistus skanbergii and C. ladanifer?
9) Figure out situation w/ chain fern. Remove? Plant that cloud forest fuschia there? (if so, get seeds!)
