Revitalized lawn. Upon close inspection of the photo, it looks like all the grape on the left should be replaced, and most of the ones on the right. We are starting with 10 plants for the project and can determine if more are needed on site.

Sulphur Buckwheat. Nice cover, good long bloom, host plant for butterflies. Native Buckwheat at Hyatt lake. This gets no summer water in this location. Nursery plants stay around 12-18". Shiny green floiage stays green all summer and transitions to blood red in winter.

Asters. Late Fall color. These are among the last blooms of the garden and help sustain the butterflies until they migrate. This is one of my plants.

Dwarf conifer and rosemary keep it green in winter. Erysimum is semi-evergreen. Caryopteris and ribes are deciduous, but stunning floral displays. Think: Bees and hummingbirds.

Revised to correct corcosmia placement, etc.

Caryopteris Dark Knight. There is also a hybrid smaller version from the same company called Saphire Surf, but it doesn't produce the same amount of blooms.

Had to change this to ilex crenata. That viburnum is NOT reliably deer proof. This is like boxwood only greener in winter. Deer resistant, fire wise list. Small, shiny leaves like the viburnum, white flowers early spring.

Planters with Nandina. Recommend lower variety like "Obsession or Firepower" for compact growth.
