"There’s no supplemental watering except for the big pot of annuals in the middle. Many of the plants are native species but to extend the flowering season and add interest, I’ve included some old standbys like Siberian iris, bearded iris, peonies, roses, Japanese anemone, alliums and self-seeding annuals like
"Since the yard is small and there’s so many different plants, it’s structured in layers. As something flowers or looks past its prime, it’s cut back or cut down so the next plant can do its thing."

Lovely! Although I have to wonder, what does it look like in the late-fall-through-early-spring part of the year? Doesn’t look like a lot that stays above-ground during the winter.
This reader did an awesome job! The layering is super and I can see why no additional watering is necessary, it is nicely and closely planted in a superb manner. Really sweet.
