I love how the Green Carpet looks in our courtyard around the stepping stones and rocks. My intention was to have ground cover that acted like carpet, making our courtyard like a living room. It would be great if it didn’t always have clovers all the time. Thankfully, my daughter is old enough to help me pull them out now.
The irises in our neighbors’ yards look great. Ours hardly bloom and leave dead leaves all throughout the plants. I’ll have to pay attention to what our neighbors are doing to theirs.
I like the foliage of the Texas Privets, but they quickly look “unkempt,” and I don’t have very many opportunities to garden in the front yard right now. They also attract tons of bees to the walkways in the spring and then litter tiny petals.
