Gardening that small section!
I have a space next to the South side of my house that butts up to my cement driveway that I would like to plant flowers or something that will fill in the area.
It is only about 12" inches wide, gets plenty of sun and is the entire side of my house. It will be up against a white brick basement wall with a few windows breaking it up down the side.
I can't have anything to tall or they will bend over into the driveway. I don't want anything that will creep over the edge either.
I'm thinking maybe nice mounds with gravel in between, or something that spreads and will take up the entire area but is low in height and does not require alot of attention.
OK, if that is not enough, I also want it to be something that will come back every year and have flowers all summer, or mid-summer into the Fall.
Most everything I see has early Spring flowers or flowers in the first part of the summer. That's not what I want. I love long blooming flowers and especially in the later summer/fall.
My hubby keeps threatening to 'just put grass' in the space. eck So I have to come up with something quick.
Can anyone come up with a good hardy flowering, short/med plant that likes sun and will mass produce and spread, or form nice neat mounds, or both or give me ideas of what to do with this 'space'?
thanks!
