When we bought the house there were very few plants in the yard. There were some super ugly overgrown evergreen bushes in the front that we have cut down. In their place we have planted Hydrangeas, Azaleas, Columbines, and butterfly bushes. However, they are all pretty small right now so we are in the waiting stage. But even the bitty bushes look better than the evergreens.
In the back we planted a row of evergreen trees that will grow and make a barrier so the neighbors can't see in the hot tub area. He also planted some pretty lilacs (called lavender chiffon haha) and he filled one of the planters with a mish/mash of really pretty fun flowers. In the other he decided he wanted some height so he planted tall grasses with green ground cover around the bottom. We really love the look and interest it added. The kitties, however, love it to hide in. Some of our other planters have lilacs and another tall flower in the spring. Now with the grasses they have hiding spots in the summer and fall too! We almost didn't see LC back there...
Can't find me...
See the evergreens in the background? They are growing pretty well!
