Gardenseque Weedflower planting
My wife and I live in one of those "fancy subdivisions" where everything is prim and proper including shrubs and trees planted with formal intervals of space.Hate it.Well, at the very least dislike it.
I have a 60 X 4 area at the back right next to the back fence. I am thinking of going native but facing a lot of resistance/opposition from the dear wife. We have a 2 year old and one coming up in 2 months, so she is against anything that would attract critters or bees etc.
Hence I am very restricted in what I could plant but I still believe in going ahead keeping her concerns in mind all the while.
One problem,I got no idea what I am doing.There is just such a vast abundance of possts/great infromation my head is spinning.It appears I ve learned a lot,yet I know nothing.
Hence this post.
I am looking for planting something native that would have the following qualities?
Low maintenance -in terms of water/fertilizer,the basic trigger
Shady area - well I have some trees and fence clouding it
Non-invasive - the grass has to ge trim/weed-free, or I get fined, j/k
Native to IL -otherwise,whats the point
Flowery - to appease the spouse
Pest attractive... NOT- as much as possible.
Please help this confused soul...
