Somehow we have drifted far afield from dwarf Shasta daisies, lol!
I thought that I should mention that the 'Angel Daisy' is looking good in the Moon Garden thus far. While the plant is taller, and the flowers larger, than 'Darling Daisy', it does not require staking. I may pick up a plant or two more, if I
ever make it to the nursery tomorrow. I hope that it will survive the garden, and I would be thrilled if it performs as well as 'Darling Daisy'.
The image below is from this afternoon; I'm afraid it is in sun so it is not the best picture that I could have taken. (And, of course, we are always fighting with weeds, as I will not use herbicides.) The one plant that I have is actually on the periphery of the Moon Garden. The Moon Garden Proper (as I think of it) is everything within a half-oval shape delineated by 'Three Rivers' stepping stones (chosen especially because they look good during the day, and stand out by moonlight, lol) and the house. The Moon Garden extends across that stepping stone path, but other colors begin to creep in at that periphery, especially behind the first layer of white-flowered things. (Actually, as per pictures in the Moon Garden thread, I do have some 'Neon Purple'
Pelargonium in the Moon Garden Proper, but those are right at some steps, and I put them there because they go so well with the variegated licorice plant and the
Heuchera 'Crème de Menthe'.)
Shown clockwise from 7 o'clock:
'Helichrysum petiolare' 'Limelight',
Rosa 'Baby Ballerina' (this is a sprawling thug and is going to be moved to the back hillside, probably to be replaced with 'Flower Carpet Amber'),
Hemerocallis 'Egyptian Queen' (overgrown and looking ratty, sigh), another 'Limelight', barely visible foliage of the bearded iris 'Arctic Express', 3 of a white flowered society garlic
Tulbaghia violacea 'The Pearl' (only 2 are really visible; the 3rd is to the right, barely peeking into the image), and finally the Shasta Daisy 'Angel Daisy' in the middle. The pathway at the top of the image is the main garden pathway; the stones at the bottom of the image are 'Three Rivers' and delineate the Moon Garden Proper.
