Mid-Atlantic Gardening: Summertime plant shopping, 2 by happy_macomb

And here is the end of the series, again left to right -- from where the drainpipe is (it looks like a river of dark brown dirt) to the right is my neighbor's yard. She just pulled out a lot of miscanthus (it was too seedy) and 3 pine trees, which is why there is a large empty area. But you can see how nice it is on the far right. Her yard got me inspired to do this huge project.

We talked and decided to carry over her row of liriope at the bottom to cover the bottom of the drain pipe area (she has some quite nice liriope, and that will give some continuity). She offered to sprinkle a package of perennial plant seeds on the dirt river, but I wasn't excited about that. So we are still looking and thinking about what to put in. She is interested in a lilac. We have one but it doesn't bloom. I may try a Miss Kim there since it does better in "southern" climates like ours.

Oops - the last photo on the right is out of order....
