I live in Oregon and just moved into a new house. I’m planning on planting some flowers in the yard but most of my options are for the north side of the house. Is anyone an expert on which flowers and ground cover will do well without receiving direct sunlight?
Thank you.
I had great results with
hosta, caladiums , wax leaf begonias, crystal palace lobelia
on the north side of my house
it stopped traffic
also try
azaleas, rhododendrons, taxus, boxwood ..for shrubs in that location.

I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers and as they are slowly dying off, I was wondering if I could somehow plant them in the ground, and have it grow into a plant. After all, flower seeds come from flowers, right?
Seeds do come from the flowers…But most plants are so hybradised that most seeds are sterile, especially commercially grown plants.
If you want memories of ur beautiful bouquet why dont you take a few pics put them in a scrap book and press the flowers and frame them.

We just moved and there is no type of landscaping in the yard. I would like to plant some flowers or flowering shrubs in the front and back. The front gets quite a bit of sun and the back is pretty shady. I am in Kenosha, which is southeastern Wisconsin, in the MidWest. I really like hydrangeas and dahlias, but don’t know anything about planting, care, etc. Please any advice for an extreme novice on a budget. Thanks a lot!
Fall and winter are great times to plant shrubs. It’s also the time to plant bulbs for next spring.
Check out your local nurseries and garden centers. They can give you expert advice that you won’t generally find at the big box stores on what grows well in your area of the Midwest. You’ll also find lot’s of end of season bargains.

Good Luck and Happy Gardening from Cathy and Neal!
I know when it’s hotter out you need to water your plants and flowers more often, and I’ve heard that you shouldn’t water your flowers everyday, unless it’s hot out. But, my question is, how much water should I give my flowers. I have a variety of flowers in pots. I’ve heard you should water them until it starts to drip out from the bottom, is that true? Can you over water flowers?
Yes, you can over water your flowers and they will die. The leaves will start turning yellow and then they will just die. I always feel the soil and if it is dry, then, I water them. Don’t soak them, just give them a good drink.And, never water them in the heat of the day. Always water them very early morning, or late evening.
I am new at this flower bed stuff and i dont know my flowers and plants very well. I love doing it but i need some information on different types of plants that grow well in arkansas. Please let me know what plant you like and describe it to me or send picture. Just trying to get ideas for my own gardens. I love gardening and tropical type plants, but i like all flowers really.
Daylilies are a good choice as they are easy to maintain and come in a variety of colors. A mix of bulbs, spring and summer (tulips, Iris, etc) help to give color in down times. Sedum (tall variety with large flower head) gives you flowers in late fall and gives shape to your garden during the winter as well. One of my favorites is Lupin, depending on the variety they can be tall, short and a wide variety of colors. Another good one is Baptista, it looks almost like a shrub but gives excellent flowers, and year round form and interest.
Speaking of shrubs/bushes, one of the earliest blooming plants is Forsythia, vibrant bright yellow flowers make it stunning. Lilacs are excellent not only for scent but for color. Burning Bushes are also fun as they give excellent fall and winter color and if you look closely, they actually have green flowers. There are also evergreens like Rhododendron which will give you interest year round as well as flowers.
Check with your local nursery for varieties of these plants that do best in your area.
I’m getting married on 2/20/10 and I was looking for some ideas for winter wedding flowers. My colors are light pink and espresso brown. I obviously know that roses are always in season, and they will be the staple flower in the bouquets, but I’m also looking for some supplemental flowers for the bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres. I want to stay away from red flowers (too cliche around Valentine’s Day) and I like the more traditional blooms. Also, I live in Minnesota, if that makes a difference regarding my selection. Thanks in advance!
Ranunculus are available in white and pink and become available in February—I love them because they are kind of like roses but have a softer appearance. You should also be able to get tulips and camellias in pink and white during February. Sweetpeas also come in white and pink and are a really sweet, feminine flower—a good compliment to roses!
Gardenias come in white and are available year-round, but they are very fragrant so I personally don’t think that they are a good choice for weddings. Calla lilies, orchids, and lily of the valley seem to be the most popular wedding choices that are available year-round (besides roses). I am personally using light pink roses and white callas (with bells of ireland in the altar arrangements) at my wedding in April. Hope these ideas help!
