PLEASE Help Me Redo My 1940's House Landscaping!
Comments (9)Well, I would have to agree that if you are moving in two years, you don't want to spend a lot of time or energy on a lot of landscaping. The new owner may not like what you did, and end up ripping it all out and starting over to suit their own taste. That said, I think I'd like to see a small ornamental tree in the area about halfway between the lamp post and house to break up and disguise that large expanse of brick and change of siding material to the left of the big window. Maybe Amelanchier, something not too dense. I'd also like to see something softening the edge of the retaining wall. Low growing Cotoneaster has interesting branch patterns and colorful berries in the fall and winter. Microbiota could cover that bank and provide year round color, or one of the low growing Junipers or other evergreens. That bank is your biggest problem, IMO. Rhododendrons and Azaleas are nice, but once they finish blooming in spring, they will just be foliage. Adding in an Oakleaf Hydrangea for summer flowers and fall color might be nice off to the right side. Unless you go with a Meyer Lilac or a mildew resistant cultivar, you may end up with a mass of powdery mildew for the rest of the summer. Not very attractive. Making the planting area near the house a little deeper to leave some space for a couple of clumps of perennials that bloom at different times of the season will give you some extra interest. Add them in masses, not just one or two, so that when they bloom, you actually can see them....See MoreSuggestions for daylilies under 18'
Comments (3)Not sure if this will help or not, but you can do a custom query in Tinker's Database (linked below.) It won't tell you what does well, but it will give you everything in the database that is the height you use in the query. Just type in ht=14 and it will give you every daylily that is registered as 14" tall. A search for ht=10 brought up 46 matches. You can do up to three filters in the search, so if you wanted to specify a color that can be entered too. I just thought it was a cool feature to use, but of course, getting first hand experience from the good folks here can't be beat! STELLA'S RUFFLED FINGERS is 19" tall (a little over) but I have heard that it is a fantastic addition to a border like you have since you want rebloom. You might want to type that in the search field in this forum to get some old posts about it. Happy Hunting!

Comments (12)Hudson Valley grows well here - 8.5 inch flower. Big Bird, another good grower looks bigger than it's 7 inches. Mynelle's Starfish is just gorgeous - large,10 inch flower with a unique shape, but is a very short plant. Prairie Moonlight is another lovely yellow with an 8 inch flower. And for yellow spider shapes, Easy Ned, Twist of Lemon, Spider Miracle, and Rococo are yellow, with no gold tones. Linda...See MoreSuggestions for sunfast pinkish daylilies?
