Native Plants can save the world!

We went to a local native plant nursery this weekend, and planted our first round of native plants. We have a small bed that runs along the South side of the garage, which had three awkwardly spaced, brittle rose bushes, so we pulled them up and planted an alternating design of a rich green fescue and a whitish _______, which will have little red bell flowers.

The nursery is fantastic. They have classes, which we hope to attend--on waiting list. They have some picnic tables and it'd be worth going just for that purpose...check it out:

Here are the pics of the bed. Nice bern around the plantings, yes? Thanks...
