Last year we started the landscaping on the West side which continued into the North side for half the distance. This year the same bedline was extended from that point covering the entire North border of the backyard & extending into the East side and covering almost three quarters of the yard.
The corners were highlighted with the two tone color shrub " Red twigged Dogwood". This plant has wonderful bright red color branches in the winter which adds nice contrast to the snow landscape. Cleveland Pears are the tall features of this area. " Cranberry Cotoneaster" covers the bottom area of the Pears. This shrub has a nice cascading growth habit which has bright red berries in fall. In front of them are pink coreopsis & then shasta daisy followed by some daylilies on either sides.
"Fat Albert Spruce" is the only evergreen tree for this area. This tree has a nice bluish color needles. Following the fence is "Annabelle Hydrangeas" which have beautiful white blooms in summer. To the front there are "Veronica speedwell". River Birch is the focal point of this area. At the very front sedums are used as groundcover.
