We took a trip to Hart's Nursery today. Ty (12) helped me pick out plants for the front stoop. Who knows, maybe he'll be a landscapist someday. We looked for plants that would do well in part shade since the front faces the North. I think he did an awesome job choosing contrasting colors, different textures and various heights. He chose:
Mexican Feather Grass: full sun/part shade 12-18"
Lemon Twist Coleus: Sun Shade 24-36"
Blue Bird full sun/part shade 10-12" a bit trailing
Rockapulco Purple Impatiens part shade 10-20"
Ipomoea Sweet Caroline full sun 14-18" trailing
We filled two light weight pots 20" wide and 16" tall with top soil and compost and mixed in fertilizer pellets. Update-June 11th, 2009
