Option #1 featured a color palette of pinks, mauves, white and soft yellow to create a long-blooming, low-maintenance garden that would adhere to the height constraints and also offer visual interest from late May to frost. A panicle hydrangea anchored the back center, flanked by ornamental grasses on either side. Dark-stemmed penstemon, coneflower, artemisia and daylilies filled in the middle, with gaura, drift roses, and lavender in front. Roman chamomile was added as a ground cover. 

Option #2 featured a color palette of whites, peaches and raspberry tones. "Wine and Roses" weigela ancored the back center, flanked by daisies and coneflowers on either side. Agastache "Royal Raspberry", coneflower "One in a Melon", gaura, calendula, yarrow, drift roses and geum filled in the middle and front.
