First Planting

Went to see the landscaper/nurseryman on 5/8 about the yard plan. He had not had a chance to do anything with it which was a little disappointing. My husband, David, and I were anxious to plant SOMETHING so we decided to start with the seawall area, which is 80 feet in length, and plant an area about 6 feet deep. After deciding on a direction, Martin was very helpful with the plant selection. Got the plants in on Mother's Day which made me very happy!


First row of plants, next to the seawall, is Golden Creeper.

The next row is alternating Dune Sunflower/Beach Daisy and Blanket Flower(Gaillardia), with a Railroad Vine at each end. The railroad vine is very aggressive and was advised to use them sparingly. The following are pictures of mature plants. Mine are not that big yet. Hopefully, by the end of summer...
