A few weeks ago I was here asking for help. Ya'll asked me to send pictures. Computer was messed up so couldn't upload.
Well, I got it fixed so here they are. The one you see is a corner. In the corner and to the left it is shady. I need help with it. I would like to plant
azaleas in the corner maybe, One in the corner then one on each side, so 3 maybe? The bed coming to the corner from the left had hostas and caladiums there. They did really well, but it just seemed plain, coleus in front hostas then caladium then there is a climbing rose in back. I just had them lined up and I want to make it more interesting
I have a shady corner in one of my beds. I put azaleas with Southern wood fern behind them. It looks really pretty, especially while the azaleas are in bloom (my azaleas are the evergreen variety). Like your bed, mine has the shady corner but plays out into a sunny area. I put dwarf Hamlin ornamental grass there and mixed in a few coneflowers. If you put something like ornamental grass in the sunny side, some black eyed Susan vine would look perfect climbing up your convenient "trellis" you used for your porch underpinning.
That's a really good idea. I love azaleas and that would be a perfect place for them. We live pretty close to Tyler and they have the Azalea Trails every year and I love it. I've winter sowed some Black Eye Susan vines. and can get the grass. In fact, at the last house I had the grass that is green with white stripe in the beds. Spider plant, maybe. Thank you very much . I've got to get out and get it tilled and get compost in it soon. I'm excited about it now!!
