Blue plumbago was planted to hide the difference in block on this corner wall. The plumbago will mound as they grow and will enjoy some shade from the Evergreen Elm tree. Yerba Mansa was planted around the base of the tree, which will spread and fill in as a ground cover. (Yerba Mansa is an herb that has a very woodsy fragrance and has white spike flowers. It enjoys cool, shady areas). A layer of light bark was spread over the garden, This will help keep dust to a minimum and helps retain moisture for the plants.
