There are many varieties of Alternanthera and they vary greatly in colour and form. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ or a nice happy smiley row of Dietes? Yes, I know they are common, but they are so tough and never fail to display, not to mention the white flowers will lighten the area up? I also thought of Liriope muscari. Will find a pic for you. Dietes iridioides Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ edit - add Liriope pic. I have heaps of these at my place, they are lovely. Even flower well in the shade. No maintenance.

I especially love the dwarf murraya & liriope. We are planting a large murraya hedge right across from the garden bed in question. Would having the dwarf version be overkill? Maybe I should use the liriope instead. Or what about dwarf agapanthus? Do they all flower at the same time ?

They flower summer through Autumn but hold the flower heads for a long time. You will only need a single row, they will fill that space. Aggies mostly summer blooming. Murraya Min a Min -creamy white flowers in abundance in spring then again in late summer or early autumn, and also after heavy rain (or watering). I don't think it would be overkill, as it's a different area and the flow would continue, the same but with a difference. The Liriope is nice though for a change. The purple flowers are delightful. All the same though, a row of Dietes in flower bobbing in the breeze always makes me smile . I think I will put them outside my front windows. That's what I had in the last house in the same spot (faces West, very hot). www.themaxbuild.blogspot.com forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20717&start=300 www.leahspaperpassion.blogspot.com Re: RHOEOs for garden bed & something else ????? 18Dec 04, 2009 1:45 pm I like the Alt. dentata hedge idea I have one at mine I'm going to dig it up though, the colour isn't right for ours I don't think You could have it if you want southies I'll post it to you. That would be something else A hedge in the mail all ready to go It is a contained garden bed so the liriope would be ok. I never get them into nurseries too often ,like all the dietes, because they can be a bit invasive in gardens once established (3-5yrs) Nor do I use them ever in my landscapes for that reason. I think the min-a-min would be a cracker too Re: RHOEOs for garden bed & something else ????? 19Dec 04, 2009 2:37 pm OK guys......themax & Fu........it's a toss up between rhoeos , liriopes & the min a mins I might get DH to put in his 2 bob's worth - for once Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15545 Hi Everyone I learned something this week that I thought would be worth sharing.
