Front planting bed incorporating the lamp post. Salvia nemerosa 'May Night,' Hemerocallis 'Mary Todd,' and Monarda x 'Jacob Cline' along with other perennials, were used for their continuous bloom. Ornamental grasses, Picea abies 'Nidiformis', and Physocarpus opulifolius 'Monlo' provide structure and winter interest. Westhauser Photography
