Brilliance

After completing a lot of the repairs and restorations following a rough start to spring, I can now start to work on some of the more simple plans I had for the garden this season. I've been filling some of the gaps within the stroll garden.

Between the Spirea and the Dogwood there was a significant gap that I filled with a 'Firefly Fuchsia' Yarrow (Achillea hybrid). 

This plant likes full sun, which it will get in this location, and it should produce some deep fuchsia pink flowers

I also wanted to fill in the area just behind Mrs. Krabappel near the fence. Given that the tree now shades this area, I opted for a Brilliance Autumn Fern Dryopteris crythrosora 'Billiance.' 

The color variation from this fern should add some differentiation and interest to this fence line.
