Large Flower
What plants to put in a large flower bed?
I just moved to a new house and there is a very large flower bed in an “L” shape on my corner and I want to plant something there after I fix it up.. I need something easy that will come back year after year. If it is a flowering plant I would prefer it have bloom all summer. I am on a busy neighborhood st. so I would also like it to be a “neat” and pleasing looking arrangement.. Something fairly low maintenance. Any suggestions? I live in the north east.
The best plant for your area will also need to take into consideration what soil type you have, soil pH, amount of water available and how much sun. Local advice is often a good thing, or check with your state extension service for a list of plants that do particularly well in your state.
One possibility that’s pretty adaptable is ‘Stella d’Oro’ daylily:

Personally, and depending on how much room you’ve got, I’d be pretty bored with yellow daylilies all summer long, so I’d probably add a couple of small trees with interesting spring flowers and winter bark. e.g.: http://arnoldia.arboretum.harvard.edu/pdf/articles/998.pdf
Or if you’d like folks to not cut across your property, some rugosa roses might be a good bet:

Not only are they hardy, they positively resent pesticides and fertilizer. Leave them alone (except for pruning) and they’re delighted! http://oldheirloomroses.com/Rugosa.htm
