Need creative ideas on what to do with this area of my front lawn

Posted by lmav (My Page) on

In the spring this entire area around the flagstones is filled with muscari and it looks really pretty, but now it's a mess and full of weeds. I am tempted to rip it all out and start over.....remove the rocks and plant a bed of some sort, but I have no ideas. And my grass around it is a mess (and full of weeds too) though the rest of my lawn looks fine. This area is full sun. I usually plant some annuals around the light post and plant morning glory that usually grows up the post (but I haven't done this yet this year). HELP!!!! Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!!!!!

RE: Need creative ideas on what to do with this area of my front

How about planting a clemetis on the pole with the morning glories and black eyed susans on the left of the pole and echinechea(spelling?)on the right, creeping phlox under and where there is room put in some daffodil bulbs for all season color. Some creeping thyme around the stones. All of these are easy care and fill in quick and thick to keep the weeds down. Hope this helps.
