Planting Natives
Native perennials are species that are indigenous and adapted to that specific environment and the soil in that specific place. These plants are also adapted to things such as rainfall. These plants have grown in the area and you can ask your nursery what works best in your region.
Covering Up With Vines
Whether it be for some backyard privacy or used as a fence, vines do a great job. A flowering vine can create a cover-up and simply be beautiful. Fast-growing vines include sweet peas, morning glory, and cup-and-saucer. Simple and manageable but they do require some attention.
