At the garden show yesterday, I figured out what kind of shrub I will be looking to plant for a border of my sidewalk in the garden. Nandina. I'll plant 4 down each side which will leave enough space in between for some varieties of annuals for color, and texture. I am also going to try some hosta this year.

Anyone plant any of these two plants? Any suggestions. From what I've read and been told, they are pretty easy/hardy to grow, just what I'm looking for:)

I'm wanting to get "some" perinnials, but leave room for annuals for varity, and to change it some each year.

Your so lucky you went to a garden show. I'd love to go a garden show. I had never seen Nandina. I looked it up and that's a great choice! I love the idea of leaving room for annuals in between. I agree, annuals are terrific for long season colors. Each year I use them more and more. I hope this thread is going on long enough for pictures of your plantings. :)
