Stylish side yard makeover

 Side Yard Makeover



Everyone wants a good back and forth - look for a gardener's stylish side yard decor filled with easy-to-care flowering shrubs and perennials.


Give a decoration to your boring side yard


It's easy to forget those tricky landscapes between the side courtyards, the house, and the property line, as you can see above. For many of us, these lean places are challenging to the landscape. Debris and recycling bins are stacked and encouraged to use them as a pathway or completely avoidance area to avoid the accumulation of manure invisibly. But you can turn them into a pleasant way to go from front to back, just like in Wisconsin Zone 5.


Informal route

A straight lawn path between beds that were once well-mulched is all the more pleasant and rewarding with the addition of a flagship path for snakes through beds lined with reliable shrubs, annuals, and perennials. Setting the flagpole in concrete is expensive and difficult. Instead, to get a visual sense of what it will look like, pre-set the path with a pipe and install it cheaply and easily on a gravel and sand bed as you can see here.


Path Plant Companions


Cheerful yellow zinnias and blue salvia, fragrant white calamine, and nice old 'Atom Joy' sedum will take you down this path. But it’s the hard-working shrubs that carry the weight of two beds: the panicle and the soft hydrangea lead to the double knockout roses and the dwarf panicle hydrangea. After all, isn’t travel more important than the destination?



Invincible Spirit Gentle Hydrangea (Hydrangea Arborescence)


This hardy adaptable shrub is first and foremost a pink delicate hydrangea that produces numerous snowball-shaped flowers from early summer until frost. The dark pink buds open up to bright pink, turning soft pink and finally green.


Shrub Flowering Type Shrub Pink Flowers Early to Frost in Summer Light Full Sun First Partial Shade Size 3 to 4 feet Height and Width Hardiness USDA Zones 3 to 9 can withstand cold.


Double Knock Out Rose (Rosa Hybrid)



This is a truly maintenance-free rose that will bloom from early summer until frost. It has excellent resistance to pests and blackheads and fungal diseases, and it does well as part of a mix with low hedge or other shrubs and perennials. No need to cut spent flowers, because it is a self-cleaning rose.

Salvia (Salvia Splendons)


These flower powerhouses provide consistent color from spring to frost. Sold annually, these tender salvias are drought tolerant. However, some extra water in the hottest part of the summer will help keep them looking their best.


The tender perennial (usually grown annually) flowers bloom in spring in red, cream, white, pink, burgundy, or deep purple. Zones 9 to 11


Profusion Yellow zinnia (Zinnia hybrid)


For the Border-of-Border pop color, nothing can surpass this breakthrough series of bright and glamorous geniuses. With foot-sized flowers that cover the shrubs throughout the season, this is one of the best and will look great on a bed such as trimming the front foundation or adding color to a path.



Type Annual Flowers Yellow Flowers Spring to Autumn Full Sun Size 12 to 18 inches high and wide


‘Autumn Joy’ tall sedum (Sedum hybrid)


The dome of pink buds, which mature to rusty red flowers, provides an attractive food for bees and butterflies late in the season. After killing the plants by severe frosts, the dried stems give winter interest. Prune them in early spring, paving the way for new growth.


Type perennial flowers Dusky Pink that are rusty red in late summer.


Calamint (Calamintha nepeta)


The tops of the gray-green leaves, which have a slight aroma when crushed, are covered with white and sometimes lavender blooms all season. Bees love it.



Type Perennial Flowers White flowers fall in summer with Full sun a Size 12 to 18 inches. High and wide hardness 5 to 7 cold in USDA zones

Garden Plants Lighten Up with These Crisp White and Green Selections

Crisp White and Green Selections That Thrive in the Heat 1. The Rule of Three "Instead of a boxwood or other shrub, you can use containers to anchor a space or garden bed," says landscape designer Carmen Johnston of Bespoke Garden Plans in Thomaston, Georgia. What's the trick to making it work? When choosing your containers, choose three that are the same shape and material — one small, one medium, and one large. She chose 'Cora Cascade Polka Dot' vinca as the base for all the containers. In the second container, she brought in 'White Delight' caladiums and 'Lemon Twist' plectranthus for height. In the largest container, she filled the same plants with 'Kimberly Queen' ferns, 'Peppermint' strap-leaf caladiums, and creeping jennies for warm, summery color. These are low-maintenance choices because, as Johnston says, “they can handle intense heat and full sun.” 2. Garden Type “We don’t need to add flowers to create a beau...
