I have an area that I call the front peninsula in my front yard around two now large River Birch trees and there is some Bar Harbor Creeping Juniper on the right side.. It began in the summer of 2002 as a totally sunny site and has since developed through different stages until now in part-shade and it is made of several native eastern North American forbs of: Purple Coneflower, Culver's-Root with white spike clusters, Wild Quinine with white button-like flowers, and Rattlesnake Master with white little round flower heads. It pretty much just takes care of itself, though I have to get after a few invasive weeds that get in as Poison-Ivy, Oriental Bittersweet, Multiflora Rose, and some baby trees. The front of my white stucco house with blue shutters looks like a cottage.
