Garden Redesign

Meta Prompt
The meta answer is a flower.
Good morning and welcome to this week's SSS.
Those of us who are lucky enough to have flower gardens know that they require a lot of year-round attention: planting, pruning, deadheading, watering, fertilizing, mulching ... the list goes on. And then sometimes you see a neighbor's garden and you decide to make some changes in your own plot. Change can be a good thing when it comes to flowers. And should you ever need some assistance with finding excellent plants, I suggest visiting the White Flower Farm's website (whiteflowerfarm.com).
Thank you to @Cap'n Rick and to @ajk for test-solving and suggestions and, as always, to @Joe Ross for his technical advice. Nudges later today!

). I did get PANSY this time around though, so I'm improving. :) I then also got stuck between PEONY and using DAILY. Wanted the latter, but couldn't come up with a flower that fit for a while 1A
