How to Order |
Crepe Myrtle Full sun. Decidous. Grows about 16" a year. Blooms from late spring to late summer, early fall. Remember to water first year to get the roots established. After that, usually no water is required unless there are drought conditions. |
Juniper Full sun. Evergreen. Juniper is the most common shrub used for topiaries. Boxwood also makes a good topiary. Both have drawbacks. If the Juniper topiary is not watered correctly and begins to dry out, they will die. Boxwood topiaries have a denser look, slower growth than juniper so are more expensive. |
Cannas Full sun. Perennial. Spring to first frost. To the keep the varigated look of the leaves, trim the stalk back about 1 foot from the ground every 6 weeks. Not a good idea to trim the whole plant at the same time. Stop trimming by end of July to allow the canna to bloom. If the plant develops brown spots, more watering is required. |

BEFORE |
Yellow or Golden Dwarf Cedar Full sun. Evergreen. I chose the dwarf variety to maintain the height balance of this garden. |
Speedwell, Pink Full sun. Perennial. I've also seen this plant called Veronica Speedweel but typically, Veronica Speedwells are blue. These need to be trimmed back in the fall or they will grow leggy come spring time. These need to be watered on a regular basis. |
Golden Barberry Full sun. Evergreen. This shrub is easy to maintain since it has a natural round shape. After the first year, minimal watering. |
Liriope Full sun to shade. Evergreen. This is one of my favorite plants since it does well in sun, shade, drought or heavy rain. In early March, mow over the plant with a lawnmower or trim by hand to allow a thicker, healthier growth. These plants grow in clumps and will need to be thinned after 3 to 4 years. |
