Author Content _Tammy Charlotte, NC September 16, 2009 02:48 PM Post #7070896 Need help choosing shade loving foundation plants for the front of the house. On the left side of the house I ripped most of the azaleas out, because the were old and diseased, now I have a huge hole. I love evergreens, but need dwarf sized, I guess. Need some flower color, too. Click the image for an enlarged view. estrail1rider Blacksburg, VA September 16, 2009 03:19 PM Post #7071001 Is the photo of that side of the house?? I am much better at shade plants than sunny ones and I am moving from shade to a house that is sun! The new house, I have been landscaping all summer and not finished yet as I started from scratch!
