Easy-Care Backyard Border Garden Plan

Most yards are a mixture of sun and shade, good soil and bad. And that makes some
areas especially challenging to design. But we’d all like to have a great view to enjoy as we look to the backyard, and sometimes that means screening what’s beyond. Here’s a garden plan that does all this while also keeping a budget in mind and utilizing low-maintenance plants that won’t require much care every year. And all of the plants tolerate clay soil!

Featured plants include Incrediball® smooth hydrangea, Little Quick Fire® panicle hydrangea, Polar Gold® arborvitae, astilbe, ligularia, hosta and more clay-tolerant perennials and shrubs.  

This Easy-Care Backyard Island Garden Plan performs best in part shade to full sun and cold zones 4 to 8.
