  • Groundcover and Ornamental Plants
  • From "Weekend Landscaping"
    episode WKL-111
    advertisement

    Having now added pavers and several shade-loving ground plants to the tiny space, host Mayita Dinos gives the area more dimension with ground cover and container plants.

    Steps:

    1. Plant the trees on either side of the topiaries (on the side away from the trelliage).

    2. Plant the ground cover plants.

    3. Plant the shrubs at the base of the vines.

    4. Place the urn in front of the trelliage at the center.

    5. Plant the Cyprus (or other tall vertical plant) in the urn.
