North facing front yard need suggestions
Comments (1)Yews, euonymus kiatschovicus 'Manhattan', hydrangeas, some viburnums and liriope (L. muscari only, NOT L. spicata) are some starters. Vinca minor and English ivy are good IF NOT INVASIVE in your area (varies across the country). Harry Lauder's walking stick needs a bit of sun to do well, a few hours a day minimum. I tried to grow one in 90% shade and it has struggled. Hortster...See MoreNeed ideas for a front yard tree without surface roots
Comments (18)Any chance you can post a picture of your house, or one like it? Often that helps suggest a specific tree, as they all have their own unique character. I am so excited, I got a Prairefire crabapple tree for Mother's Day!! Our house is a tall, old colonial but the crab will frame our front picture window, without blocking out all the sun. I plan to plant some large hostas and maybe bergenia underneath the canopy. The rest of the bed will stay sunny, so I can still have a few blooms in summer. Maybe it's smaller at 15-20' H X W than what you want, or think you want? We're going to plant it today, since rain is forecast for tomorrow. It will be planted in my west-facing front yard. It has dark pink flowers, dark green leaves, supposedly persistent fruit (about 1/2" in diameter), and excellent disease resistance....See MoreHot Slope in Front Yard-- Need Cheap Fix Ideas
Comments (5)thank you! I also found another recent post on the same topic. I think it looks like the best idea is to treat it like a garden-- using plants that will give it a sort of patchwork prairie/butterfly garden look. The daylillys and various other plants you all mentioned will all find a home I think. Boy--this is alot of ground though, its going to take a while. ;)...See MoreNeed help with landscape design for smaller, north-facing front yard
Comments (4)Check out this video by Rosalin Creasy, the queen of edible landscaping. She also has a Web site. Then follow any links from there. You'll find a lot of inspirational photos and resources online. Yaardvark's basic design can be followed, you just need to figure out edible plants with the shapes he has drawn that thrive in your zone. I'm not that up on edible weeping plants, but lots of big shrub-shaped edible fruits and there are also fruit trees that have a columnar shape (column shape) such as sentinel apple trees. Raspberries and blackberry tend to get droopy and weepy-ish shaped (fountain shaped). There are edible easy to maintain groundcovers too, like lingonberry, although they need acid soil to thrive so you may have to amend. I grew bearberry which also goes by the name kinnikinnick as a groundcover. It is not really "edible" so much as medicinal, where it goes by the name Uva ursi. Lots of herb ground covers like thyme and chamomile and some low growing mints. There's also wintergreen but that needs shade and can be fussy. Not too much in the way of edible evergreens although you can grow balsam or fraser fir in some zones and collect the needles for their scent and oil. With juniper you can harvest the berries and make gin. Some junipers are columnar. Some make good groundcover, a fairly common low maintenance option for small yards. Edited to add that you're going to have to be thoughtful about planting your front yard since most edible plants like sun or partial sun, and your sun is going to be filtered at best. Try not to plant things in the shade of other things, so watch where the shadows fall during a whole day at different times....See Morefloraluk2
