Jo Ann opened my eyes in a ID post here about a Coreopsis Sienna Sunset.
The thread "ID Anyone" in
Perennials forum
So I come to you all if you have a driveway bed that you have plants that you find do well in this situation. I would appreciate suggestions.
I purchased this house 4 years ago. I have piled homemade compost, manure, topsoil, and everything I can think of trying to improve the soil. It is the first thing you see as you enter the property.
Most things I plant if it survives looks like it is going to die any moment.
So I come to you all for suggestions.
Here are seasons pictures of what does survive.
After the snow melts and early Spring.
Bluebells and the Smoke tree are the stars in Spring and they seem to be doing good.
Summer the best I can get is Iris, and a few daylily, fairy rose, gerainium, coral bell that seem to not bloom good and this is a very sunny hot bed.
