Pressure, Pressure LOL
From your description I envision a need for some sort of bush or small garden structure maybe a pyramid arbor and
plant clematis vines, or a Hibiscus. My reason for that thought is lilies are low you will need some height and structure. Also, you need 3 season interest in an entrance area.
trees, bushes, garden structures do that when nothing is blooming.
Next you will want to investigate bloom times. Since you mentioned daylilies they bloom at different times. Different varieties can bloom from
spring until fall. Then pick a color scheme since it is in the front of my house. If it is a conservative side of town you may want soft colors pinks, peaches, whites, yellows. I got this from a friend that hated to come home because they had planted screaming colors of red, oranges and yellows in the front courtyard. She said it looked like a circus.
OK, now for what I have planted in my
lily garden.
Ground cover is Sedum and
rose Companion.
The companion
flowers Balloon
flowers, Coreopsis, Delphinium, and do not forget to buy some
spring Bulbs….Tulips, Daf, Crocus, and and…LOL
Have fun. Remember if you do not like it you can always dig it up and put it in the back gardens.
