Comments (13)I would pass on Jacaranda (invasive), Palo Verde (long thorns), Eleagnus (nonnative and often invasive), and Lantana camara (invasive). And Crape Myrtles are also nonnative, extremely overused and their wood is heavy (from water), yet weak. Anacua does sound like a cool native with edible berries, though. Otherwise, I would suggest: [Trees[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/favorite-underused-trees-dsvw-vd~1735953): American Persimmon Texas Persimmon Oriental Persimmon Desert Willow 'Lucretia Hamilton' 'Little Girl' Magnolias Western Soapberry Fig Pomegranate Goldenball Leadtree Kieffer Pear Oriental Raisin Tree Mexican Plum Pineapple Guava Red Mulberry Paw Paw Loquat Jujube Rusty Blackhaw Texas Mountain Laurel Eve's Necklace Bushes: Texas Sage Rosemary Hardy Hibiscus & Rose of Sharon (Thornless) Blackberry St. John's Wort Elderberry Flowers: Iris [Compass Plant[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/what-are-you-choices-for-foliage-interest-in-both-sun-and-shade-dsvw-vd~5357531) White Rosinweed Pitcher Sage Standing Cypress Texas Bluebell Texas Bluebonnet Wine Cup Lemon Beebalm [Allium canadense[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/is-this-wild-onion-and-how-to-propagate-dsvw-vd~5231628) Echinacea Yarrow Maypop Black-eyed Susan Clematis 'Madame Julia Correvon'...See MoreCan someone help with landscape and exterior desifns to boost curb val

Comments (21)I think ultimately it comes down to maintenance. Pennlake made a fabulous point about snow and that inner bed. I’d have to agree that perennials might be your best bet on that side for the sake of clean up. As for the white flowers, yes those are supertunia vista snowdrift which are annuals meaning that you would have to purchase and plant once threat of frost has passed. If that’s something you would look forward to, they are a staple and my go to for their proven ability to add value to the landscape and they can handle part sun. They are self cleaning meaning you do not have to dead head and they fill in a space quite nicely. The reason i recommend an annual for that front curve is because you’re still figuring out the flow of the rest of the space. It might be a couple seasons of trial and error regarding perennials- but I’d strongly recommend getting evergreen shrubs in the ground. The reason i recommended a variety of boxwoods is because you can prune them to keep them small… the downside of having a permanent border is not being able to expand with mature plants. Mad_gallica makes a great point regarding sun. Yews are a fabulous choice for an evergreen. Especially if you are looking for something low maintenance....See MoreHelp with landscape design
