As promised these are some pictures of out front landscaping. We had azaleas at first but DH got rid of them and replaced them with slow growing palm which is also hardy for this zone.This are very slow growing palms and had been planted for 3 years. I do not know the variety.DH also planted a couple of hostas which does not do well because it gets a lot of sun.. We have annuals and some perinials such as the low growing sedum which comes back every year. I have maybe 10 varieties of sedum. I will be showing you my red Japanese maples which are slow growing.Also the different groupings that Dh do. I let him rearrange the planters. I have hundreds of potted tropical plants and they all come in to the sun room during winter. I hire someone to clean the pots as well as arrange then in the sun room. I have lots of banana variety so it goes to the garage. I also have lots of plumerias. Now for your landscaping in front, i like rocks and boulders. Boulders are expensive but to can buy the hypertufas which are cheaper. I would buy a book and get some ideas. Here are the pics
