My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Other than green

21 years ago

Looking for plants to go in a shady garden that are other than green. This is for zone 7a, location receives morning and late afternoon sun. Full sun during the winter.

Really want some different color to go under these oaks(9) rather than seasonal flower/bulb color that I already have.

Currently have:

Coral bell azaleas

Hydrangaes

Lamium Beacon Silver (groundcover)

Heuchera 'choclate veil'

Ajuga reptans Burgundy Glow (groundcover)

Stonecrop sedum (groundcover)

Elephant ears

yews

hostas

mondo grass

Want some interesting bark color and foliage. Some height differences would be great too!

//Image is about a year old or so. I gotta get some updates done ;)

Thanks for your ideas!
