| I have a blank slate and am planning to do a large garden across the front of our one-story house (going to go deep - 8-10'). I'd like to a lot of variation in texture and shades of green, but am looking only for white flowers. I have read a lot in books, online, etc...but just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for plants. I'm one of those somewhat new gardeners who want everything - great looking plants, low maintenance (I am looking forward to doing some maintenance...) and plants with some good winter-interest. I'm welcome to any thoughts or suggestions of plants that have done well for you or you think might fit well into all-white garden plan.
Thanks |
