Sandy soil and tree roots!
As I'm new to this site I'm hoping there are a lot of brilliant people out there who can help me! Any suggestions as to what to grow to provide all year interest in very sandy soil with very large tree roots in the way?

Any suggestions as to what to grow to provide all year interest in very sandy soil with very large tree roots in the way? Do you want a map showing a gold mine and the princesses' hand in marriage too? Ignoring the "all year" thing, which is asking a bit much of any plant: Add some soil on top to give them something to root into, and try: any of the Baneberry (Ataea?) - they will flower late in the year, but have attractive foliage Berberis × stenophylla (yellow flowers, purple berries, shrub unfussy about soil), or other less showy berberis any of the Weigela (will handle full shade and poor soil) Any of the hedgerow wild plants: Crane's Bill, Lords & Ladies, wood anemone, etc would put on a show at times. These should all survive dry conditions, but would very much prefer it if you waterered a bit. |
