| We've cleared this bed outside our kitchen dining area and now we are wondering what to plant.
[IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/30xbjhf.jpg[/IMG] This is the south side of the house, fairly dry but with good drainage (foto was taken around 5pm so there's shade from a large tree on the other side of the driveway). Near the fence, which faces east you can see a little bit of a rose bush which I'd like to keep. Thinking about a Japanese maple in front of the windows but what else would thrive here? We've discussed sprinkling Nandinas around for soft movement and color, maybe a couple of lounging loropetalums too. Ribbon grass for edging? Attractive but low maintenance is what we seek! |

| Hi ourlittleeden - Your photo didn't come through because you picked up the [img] tag instead of [html]. When you repost, go ahead and put your question on the discussions side. Just hit discussions under the top logo and post there. You'll get a lot more answers there as more folks see it. A Japanese Maple might have a tough time there on the south side even with shade. I've attached a link to Metro Maples. They're the experts on Japanese Maples in Texas. Post your picture and we'll take a look and make more suggestions. |
