Greg Bobich of Designs by Sundown transformed a flat, blank space in Englewood, Colorado into a multilayered tapestry. For year-round interest, he planted conifers: dwarf globe Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens 'Glauca Globosa'), mugho pine (Pinus mugo mugo), limber pine (P. flexilis 'Vanderwolf's Pyramid'), and dwarf blue Scotch pine (P. sylvestris 'Glauca Nana'). Summer color comes from fuchsia, red, and white petunias edged with yellow pansies, backed by hardy perennials like Dianthus 'First Love' (white to deep rose) and 'Pink Mist' scabiosa. Violet-blue agapanthus (treated as annual) centers the bed. Crocosmia and irises add sword-shaped foliage before and after bloom. A Kansas limestone wall backdrops this bed and a nearly identical one across the driveway.
