(NAPS)—Anyone who thinks a low-maintenance landscape has to be plain green and ugly shouldthink again. With a bit of planning, some smart plant choices and the help of these seven gardendesigner secrets, you can have a yard that’s the envy of your neighborhood—and enough time toenjoy it.1. Choose plants that will flourish given the realities of your yard. Some plants like full sunwhile others tolerate shade; some don’t mind freezing temperatures while others are unfazed byrelentless heat. Selecting plants that thrive in the existing conditions of your site ensures ahealthy, attractive landscape. Observe the light levels around your home—six to eight hours plusof uninterrupted sun each day indicates full sun, four to six hours is considered part shade orpart sun, and less than four hours would be a shaded site. Plants at the garden center shouldhave tags that tell you their light preferences. Shopping locally helps ensure that all the plantsyou see will be suitable for the climate in your yard.2. Plant drought-tolerant shrubs. These specially adapted plants thrive with limited water oncethey are established (usually after their first season in the ground). Drought-tolerant plants sailthrough hot summer days easily, saving you the time and money it takes to water the landscape.Read the tag attached to the shrub for information on its drought tolerance or look for visualcues such as silvery-grey leaves, as are found on Petit Bleu caryopteris, and narrow, needlelikefoliage, as on Fine Line rhamnus. 3. Spare yourself the time it takes to prune yourplants by opting for compact varieties. Compact(also known as dwarf) plants never get too largefor the space where you’ve planted them so youdon’t have to bother with confusing pruninginstructions. Most people’s favorite plants areavailable in compact, no-prune varieties:hydrangea lovers can try Little Lime or Bobodwarf-paniclehydrangeas or the tidyCityline series of big-leaf hydrangea. Rosefans should take noteof the low-growing OsoEasy series with itsrange of 10 vivid col-ors, all under 3’ high.Even butterfly bush, ashrub notorious for itsgiant, sprawling habit,is available in a com-pact 2’ height with theinnovative Lo & Beholdseries. 4. Choose plants withhigh-quality, attractivefoliage. These lookgreat even when not inbloom, beautifyingyour landscape formonths instead of justa few weeks. Colorfulfoliage, including thedark purple of BlackLace elderberry or thecheery gold ofChardonnay Pearlsdeutzia, and variegatedfoliage, such as MyMonet weigela orSugar Tip hibiscus,make engaging focalpoints from earlyspring through latefall. Mix them withsuch evergreens asCastle Spire holly andSoft Serve falsecypress for year-roundcolor.5. Plant in masses ofthree, five or seven ofthe same kind of plant.This gives your land-scape a cohesive, pro-

fessionally designed appearance. Plus, weedscannot grow if desirable plants are already tak-ing up the space, eliminating that notoriouslytiresome garden chore. Planting in groups ofodd numbers is a designer’s secret for a boldstatement that doesn’t feel too formal or fussy.6. Mulch. A two- to three-inch-thick layer ofshredded bark mulch not only gives your land-scape a pleasing, finished look, it conserveswater by reducing evaporation. It also keepsplant roots cool and shaded, allowing forhealthy, vigorous growth that resists pests anddiseases naturally. 7. Don’t be afraid to replace the plants that taketoo much of your time, or those that you don’treally like, with new, easy-to-grow shrubs. Atwww.ProvenWinnersShrubs.com, there are so manyimproved varieties available now that there islittle reason to settle for anything else.
The cheery gold of Chardonnay Pearls deutziacan brighten your yard.
Compact plants like ‘Lilac Chip’ butterfly bushcontribute to a low-maintenance landscape.
