Landscaping Ideas?

“tree got me this for mothers day (waterfall). I have a place for it but I am looking for ideas for what to plant. it is mostly shady
so far I have three plants. two Big Blue Lilyturf and one Japanese Painted Fern. what you see is all that i have done so far. not much but it is a start.

“That thing rocks!”

“go eat a banana!”

“I had my morning banana, thank you very much.”

“I like your lilyturf.

Are you wanting folks to tell you how to put all that in?

The liriopi fills in everywhere you plant it pretty quickly. Where did you find it? I've been looking everywhere for lilyturf and can only find it in catalogues thus far.”

“More rocks!”

“Homedepot. they were unloading trucks of new stuff. i told the guys they needed to wait till I left. I was like a little kid standing there looking at all the new things coming off the truck. they were so healthy!

im looking for ideas for a partly shaded area.”

“Liriope is very common at the big box stores down here. So is omphopogon (Sp?) a.k.a. mondograss.

Maple, do you want everything short there, or something taller? I'd find a nice trellis and have a non invasive vine of some sort to overhang the rock fountain a bit. You may even want to set the rock fountain up on something, like concrete blocks, to give it greater prominence and focus in that space, then have a lower evergreen planting to hide the blocks.”

“When is Sass and Treebait coming to my house to landscape it?

You guys can do anything you want to the font yard of my house, and I will even pay for it.”

“great idea tree. i like the idea of ivy growing! any kind? or does it matter?

Wk hush I am getting free advice here!”

“I wouldn't use ivy. Many ivies have a nasty habit of causing structural damage. You'd need to keep the trellis about a foot away from the wall, and stick with a dwarf variety of ivy if you went with that.”

“TT landscaping party at my house!”

“I was going to post that...”

“gosh darn it WK, knock it off!





ohhh girls....i have a sexy man at my house that wants to meet you......”

“You do? Gee, you've never posted any pictures of him before. ;P”

“Nooooo Wounded Knee! I have first dibs!! I posted yeaterday about all the TTers coming to MY house to help lay my patio stones. FREE BEER!! Memorial Day weekend. You all don't really want to be out on the trails then anyways, much too busy. ;)”

“If I wasn't so busy around my house, I would come and help out.

Are they heavy? You know I am a girly man with flabby arms.”

“Hostas, ferns, dicentra, astilbies, toad lilies, rhododendron, brunnera---annuals johnny jump ups, Impatients

Painted ferns take forever to grow btw...they are netoriously slow.

Sass, I just helped a neighbor make a patio...NO THANKS!

“Native plants are the way to go. Once they are established they require zero care because they evolved in the area that you plant them. In addition they attract native birds and wildlife. For more information on local availability of native plants check:
