Unfortunately, I did not like everything that was planted for me. So I ripped out a lot of stuff and planted what I thought would make the house look nice. And most of it died the first winter!!! The landscaper who did the work warned me that some of my selections were cold sensitive, but I did not take it seriously. Bad mistake. Year by year I have watched my neighbors (and me) replace plants that didn't do well with some of those that were already here and got ripped out. So, be careful what you plant. Check the hardiness levels.
