Yard update

We got alot done on our yard this summer. We put in the rocks and planted all our plants ourselves. Here are some of the plants we chose and are considering. I am excited to see what it looks like in the next few years.

Our Althea Red heart or "rose of sharon" Is only a foot tall now but will grow to be 12' by 4'.
It is on the right side of the house
We have 2 single knockout rose bushes below the right side window

This is our thornless cockspur hawthorn tree

The "ole" shrub rose

Spirea "Magic Carpet"

Wiegalia "Wine and Roses" we have two on either sides of the ole rose bush
