Yes, I like a full look too, the empty soil at the base of taller plants bugs me. I've been putting a lot more plants as companions this year...
Some kind of mint is possible. Can't really see the leaves clearly. Could you describe their texture, or try to get a clearer pic of individual...
Henry, AFAIK, what I'm doing would be called decopage. The flower is a 2nd layer. The weather hasn't been cooperating with my schedule, (huge...
I've killed pokeweed with boiling water several times. Cut plant at ground level, pour boiling water on the crown. Never had one come back after...
Here's the other "quilted" box, it's taller than the first. Also added a flower to the front of the first. [img] mini planter boxes,...
Awww, how sweet, thanks!!! Sounds daggone cute!
These don't look like much yet, just put them together recently, but they will look great soon. This one is all green & white. Wax Begonias,...
Yeah, it's hard to just say "shade" or "sun" and have actually said much. I can be more specific since I realized I have about 1000 pics from OH....
Found a pic - from about 10 years ago! [img] Bergenia cordifolia (from OH) ( photo / image / picture from purpleinopp's Garden )
If it's Bergenia cordifolia, it will make a HOT pink flower spike soon and does like shade. Had some in OH.
Awww, thanks!! The wood and fabric scraps were free, so I'm only out a bottle of Elmer's glue, a few hours, and some leaning-up-too-long back...
Pol, that looks more complicated to me, but each person would look at any of these methods and think some look "easy" and some look "hard." Also,...
Thanks! And yes, I'm trying to do that too before I go shopping for annuals. I really am going to buy for specific spots this year, instead of a...
Awesome suggestions! Thanks! There's room around the rim of this for several trailing plants... Here's the pot this morning. [img] Front...
Hi Pol! Those are so cute! Are they yours? I've seen a couple of those pics before. Still working on the containers for mine. I did finish...
I keep a giant pot on my front steps (facing south) the past few years that's always changing. It was pansies and snaps to start this year, but...
As a general rule, be wary of putting any plants with chevrons on their leaves in a garden bed, or not ID'ing (and likely pulling) ASAP. I'm...
Not at all, but I would expect one plant to do much better than the other, depending on conditions. Either the Heuchera will fry or the Sedum...
Kind of an odd pair, IME. Sedum likes full nonstop sun, too much water will kill it. Heuchera prefers moist shade.
The first one looks like Syngonium. Agree on Philo for the 2nd. The Begonia is a cane type, for looking for culture info. I've had luck...
