As some of you know, I have been trying to create a garden in my new backyard. We made a lot of progress but the right end is still empty after we cleared out the bushes and weeds. Here are two pictures of the area now : Backyard right end ( photo / image / picture from Tina's Garden ) Here is a close up : Backyard right end ( photo / image / picture from Tina's Garden ) The stones that you see form a small path. I want to plant something behind the path (towards the fence). Can you please give me some ideas on what will look good in the areas I circled in red? Thanks a lot!
Agree Hosta would be great there. Buy about 2 expensive ones and many cheap one to fill it in and you will be good to go.
Any of your shade plants: primroses, trilliums, pacific bleeding hearts, ferns. The area looks dry so if you stay with natives like salal (Gaultheria shallon) you would have less maintenance and watering. It isn't a very large area so you probably won't need very many varieties of plants. Just look for different textures for interest. Don't forget a seating area close by. Every gathering we've had this summer everyone gravitates to the woodland garden and we end up hanging out there.
Thanks Jewell. I do have salals in this area. In fact, I have pulled out a lot of salals as they were taking over. Yes, I will certainly put a sitting arrangement too.
