I would go through books just to see what I like. Then I'd figure out whether I could grow it. Then where to put it. And what to add to it. It sounds to me like you did the same thing. I am in an older community now and everyone seems to have done all their planting after examining the yards around them. So lots of hostas and daylilies and Rose of Sharon and yuccas. But almost no roses other than Dr. Huey, the root stock used for many hybrid teas. I pulled out some suckering thorny Crimsom Pygmy barberries and put in a deutzia Chardonnay Pearls I was gifted. Sweet little thing. Completely hardy. And I see it nowhere else. Watching it go through its bloom sequence is fun. And in full flower, it's white!!! |
