Ooooo, I love the Coral Bells in the back. And the grass! I also like the brick in behind. This bed is going to look amazing in a couple of years! Nice job!

Members' notes...
This is usually grown as an annual I am told but we have mulched it over the winter 2007/08 to see if we can grow it as a perennial.
This flower can be perennial or biennial, is in the Aster Family and is native to Ohio. It likes dry praires, fields and open deciduous woods, which is why it's in my yard. It's also called Brown-eyed Susan. Its seeds make an abundant food source for Goldfinches and House Finches. It's also a host plant for Silvery Checkerspot caterpillars.
