Planting the groundcovers

     The entire new planting bed between the back lawn and the walkway will have ground covers underneath the higher perennials.
     The first two photos show Lamiastrum galeobdolon, or Yellow Archangel, being planted on the west end.  I dug the plants up from my many beds of it.  It likes shade, but it will tolerate some sun, as will appear in this spot.
     The next two photos show Lamium maculatum, or Dead Nettle, planted in the middle.  It, too, likes shade, and was dug from other areas of my gardens.
     The next two photos show Waldsteinia ternata, or Barren Strawberry.   It likes sun to part shade.
     The last photo shows the entire planting bed from the west end, looking east towards the house.
