Hi, I'm new to this forum, and appreciate any help I can get. I moved to a new house a year ago and I'm just now getting around to dealing with this flower bed under a maple tree (so... dry shade), which is on the corner of our lot. We can barely even see the bed from the house, so I suppose the intent was to have some visual display for passers-by. To me it' s a strange shape -- kidney-ish, but turned with the concave side away from the viewer. There were small rose bushes, very small hydrangeas, lamb's ears and some other kind of rapidly-growing, geranium-like perennial growing there when we moved in. The hydrangea didn't survive the winter, and the rose bushes look iffy for a comeback. The lamb's ears are going strong, and we've ripped out the perennial. Wondering how folks would design this in terms of a focal point. For plants I'm thinking of keeping the lamb's ears and adding hydrangea, ferns, heuchera, astilbe, etc. Would you put taller plants through the middle of the shape, with lower and lower layers fanning out to the edges? The attached photo was taken, I believe, around December 2016, right after which I think the previous owners planted the roses and hydrangeas that failed.
