Easy-Care Front Entry

Mowing a sloping front yard can be difficult, and if you have a shady east-facing space, turf may struggle anyway. Make it prettier and easier to maintain when you put in a planting like this, with a low retaining wall and plenty of light and bright colors to brighten up the space. 

Featured plants include redbud, Japanese maple, hostas, astilbes and other shade-tolerant annuals, perennials and shrubs.
