Some areas of my garden are incomplete. The bones are all there, but the planting is far from ‘done’. For example, the lilies I have recently featured …
are a perfect companion to Hydrangea paniculata …

A garden, much like a house, is always a work in progress!!
How about this: make cuttings of the hydrangea and move a few transplants from the lilies. This way something will happen– you might get double the beauty. Your bench is a lovely focal point.
This is such a lovely spot that I am sure either way you go will turn out lovely…I do know what you mean about waiting for the results…maybe tuck in some hydrangeas in pots while you are waiting for the results.

Oh I want my energy back! But your garden energizes me, every time I see these pictures.
Moving lily bulbs in autumn should be quite simple, no? Once they go into dormancy they are normally quite happy to be dug up.
(They are not hardy here in Denmark, so my lilies are dug up each autumn and re-planted in late spring when all danger of frost has passed.)
