To make the best use of space year-round, its best to choose a variety of plants that:
- bloom at various times of year
- handle varying temperature and rainfall conditions
- provide or prefer shade
- deter pests such as deer, moles, or rabbits
Flowering Plants
Choose plants that bloom throughout the year in varying light conditions, preferring perrenials over annuals, to minimize maintenance.
