Gardening (flowers and plants)? | |
I am wanting to plant some flowers around my house one side of the house is wet and shady....other side is shade and dry and the other side is sunny...I have bushes in the front so flowers are not needed there...what kind of plants and flowers can I get that will work and bloom and be easy to take care of....
only serious answers please.
Answers:
1for the sunny, dry side try coneflowers..there are perennials and once established are drought hardy..just water a bit if it is very dry and they will bloom mid summer till frost..plus they come back bigger and better every year...there are several colors and flower types that have been created over the last few yrs and the newer the flower type the higher the price
for shade try ferns, begonias, bleeding heart, columbine and astibille just to name a few..also azalea's like shade with very little sun and moist ground
for dry shady areas try liriope aka monkey grass..very easy to take care of and each spring you just take the lawn
mower through and cut tops off...
read up on whatever flowers you choose..some will have to be lifted and stored in the fall in a cool dark place while others can be left in the ground..they will either reseed themselves or the plant will come back bigger and better
good luck and happy gardening
sorry couldnt be of more help but i have almost full sun to most areas except for a couple..one gets early morning sun and late evening sun..the other gets late evening sun
go into google and type in for instance-----plants for moist shady areas + your state??....for each search type in the areas you want to put plants and you will get many returns on the types of flowers recommended and also type in your state in each search...i did that for mine and there was a link especially for kentucky
