Hydrangea - In neutral soil, expect pink and lavender blooms, while in slightly acidic soil, they'll bloom a deep blue. Keep plants about 2 feet from house to prevent moisture problems and give them room to spread.
Encore Azalea - These do well in sunny spots that would burn other azaleas. Encore's bloom in spring and again in late summer - early fall. Plant in slightly acidic soil with plenty of compost.
Carissa Holly - This compact plant that blooms white in spring is good for smaller areas. It's drought resistant, but does appreciate weekly watering and mulch.
Rhododendron - Plant in partial sun; prune and fertilize after spring flowering.
Catmint - Loves dry, hot weather and can thrive in average, well-drained soil.
Laurel "Otti Luyken - Year round green foliage even in winter.
Heavenly Bamboo - Does well in partial shade, but foliage gets brighter in full sun. Great for 4 season texture and color.
Blue Angel Hosta - Good for shady. You'll be able to separate and replant growth every 2-3 years.
Harland Dwarf Boxwood - Grows well in sun or partial shade. Great choice if you're thinking of adding evergreens.
Knockout Rose - Continual blooms from spring to first frost and are easy to care for!
