This corner of the house has been on my blog before because of the Brambles. My neighbor calls the Devil Weed. Yeah, I can relate because wild Berry plants are very thorny. This started as my annual clean out the brambles event, but I wond up refreshing the whole corner.
There was a very large Euonymus taking up this whole corner. I dialed it back considerably to take off dead wood, and try to invigorate the plant. Growing out of that same space I have two Hearty Hibiscus plants. The pink and purple one is heartier than the white one. The Hibiscus flowers are heavy, and cause the whole plant to bend over.
I also found another Hearty Hibiscus over buy the Yeopan Holly, and a Nandina. The start of the job was to take out the Brambles, and I was a little more thorough this time going after the roots. Then, in that process, I am pulling weeds in general, and sometimes that includes a lot of volunteer plants. The Ruellias are always happy to grow into space that is not for them. The Yeopan Hollies are the same, going wherever they want. Then I added the red mulch to give a finished look. The garden stuff is never finished, were just sprucing it up a little, then it will grow back into a mess... LOL!
