Beautiful landscaping adds value to your home. Get ideas by driving around your neighborhood. Many green houses offer a free design service. Make your life easier by using plants that are easy to grow and low maintenance. Local garden clubs often have sales this time of year. They will be happy to help you find some wonderful plants that are easy to grow.Some of my personal favorites for shade are hostas. They some in many varieties. When separated, one plant will make many! If you have a protected partly sunny area, hydrangeas are fabulous. Several varieties are available, One plant yields many blossoms. They last for weeks and then can be cut and dried for year round beauty. Sunny areas are a great place for most perenials. Black-eyed susans are a beautiful option that give color all summer. For large space, the hibiscus is a dramatic option. The plant grows very large and flowers all summer. A fence area supports the prolific morning glory. It reseeds and soon takes over, vining and completely covering your fence.
Before you add plants, evaluate your current landscaping. Are your bushes overgrown and taking away from the beauty of your home? Some bushes can be cut back and will rejuvenate to create a fresh look. Some overgrown buses just need to be removed and replaced. You can dig them out or pull them out with a chain and a tractor. Beautiful landscaping will brighten you day and give years of joy. Spend this summer outside!
