Rhododentrums are beautiful and eay to take care of. Black eyed susans are good. You want flowers that will be lightly maintenance free and will come back in the spring. Honeysuckle, hostas, lavender, burning bushes, elephant ears, try some herbs, azaelea bushes, hydrangias.
4 O clocks, very easy, hard to kill, they smell wonderful and bloom everday around 4 P.M. Spreading can be problem so have a border. Eveytime I smell them I think of going to my aunts house in Ark. when I was a young child.
for sunny areas, Daylillies, Shasta Daisy’s, black eyed Susan’s, autumn joy sedum, Karl foerester grass, stargazer Lillie’s. Bulb plants love Sandy soil, like tulips for spring. perennial geraniums are good. as for annuals, try petunias or marigolds.
