Don't recreate the wheel. Choose successful trinities.
Penelope Bianchi sent this pic over the weekend. She had a question about her vines. .
Epiphany for another Tara Trinity: Vines, Gravel & Boxwood.
.
Vines, Gravel, & Boxwood have worked for centuries in the best & most charming gardens.
.
Tara Trinities? Shade perennials: Hosta, Helleborus & Ferns. Shrubs: Azalea, Camellia, Hydrangea. & etc.

I'm sure you see trinities you adore all the time.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

I was thinking about you this weekend while digging out some foundation plantings. Now the brickwork shows with just a few plants. It feels so clean and fresh. I love it. Good advice.
Oh, I WANT that house- with or without the gravel!
Trinities - you know me; I'll probably find some threes, but I'll also seek out some twos, fives, and fours.
Yes...why reinvent the wheel?
I've seen pictures with Vines climbing against structure built with stones mainly - how about wood siding? Is it safe to have Vines on wood siding? Thanks!
Thanks for the nudge Cindy. No, to vines on your wood. But a solution was posted today!
Woody shrubs, espaliered.

Thank you! You can't see it in the picture well; but I have to send you a picture of an azalea that is 60 years old! (It was my darling mother's; and I have pictures of me next to it as a child!!!)
I'll find a picture!
