landscaping shaded areas
How attractive and showy plants will grow quickly and thrive in the first year of planting?
I live in Madison, Wisconsin, and Zone 4. I hope I can sell my house this year, and while I am making decisions to improve Curb Appeal and the general appearance of the landscaping of the lot, I am particularly curious plants that show well in their first year. I'll make full use of plants that I have, and have thoroughly studied what to put in the shaded area of my yard, but I am not sure what to put under the sun and some areas of Sun Suggestions? Thank you!
Encore Azaleas, Nandina any variety, burning bushes are color also great!
