flower bed suggestions

This side of the garage needs help desperately! What would you plant here? Full sun. The spruce tree may need to be removed as it’s too close to the building and back side of it doesn’t look too great. I have hostas, lilies and sedum on hand.

I was thinking taller planters in front of garage once it’s finished.

    As someone mentioned - keep the elevation below the siding so it doesn't rot it. Don't plant too close to the building.

      I’d do a row of Daylillies in the back with something small in the front if you’re looking to fill the entire bed with perennials. There are quite a few different full sun perennials out there like Black Eyed Susan as well. I figured the row of Daylillies since you have one there already.

      Thank you! I kind of wanted to stay away from so many daylilies. The previous owner had a huge lily bed about 20 feet from the side of the garage. I believe they need to be split too!

      Weigela bushes have pretty flowers and could be a nice back drop. Russian sage goes well with day lilies. Coneflower, blanket flowers, daisies, sedum, black eyed Susan, roses - I had all of these in my sunny garden in Minnesota.

      Daylilies are nearly the ultimate perfect plant. Only flaw: they CAN get a bit ratty looking by August. Mixes suggested above are good. Black eyed susan will take over the world, so good for filling up space. Russian sage is easy and pretty. My favorite combo is daylily, purple coneflower, and monarda.

      Bluestar is another great perennial to consider as a shrub alternative. Gorgeous flowers, nice form, can get quite large, and low maintenance.

      Is there something wrong with your roof? It seems to dip quite a bit in the middle. Was a new roof put on over multiple older ones?

      Make sure you don't get the soil too high next to the garage, the sill can start to rot.

      If you see this area from the house, I would plant native perennials and flowers such a daffodils. Look for plants that attract bees and butterflies.

      Here are some good suggestions: https://www.houzz.com/magazine/how-to-design-a-colorful-flower-bed-stsetivw-vs~27407750

      You could also move the one daylilly to one end and put another at the other end and plant new in between if you don’t want it full of daylillies

      There are endless possibilities when designing or redesigning a garden which is why I love the field so much!

      I would go tall! Sunflowers, hollyhocks, and rudbeckia laciniata (cutleaf coneflower) are all 5-6 feet tall and add dramatic color! And/or put up a trellis and grow a vine like clematis to get some spring blossoms while the tall ones are filling in.

      You have a sagging ridge beam on your garage roof. If it snaps you will lose the roof.

      This condition is more important than the garden, and could cost $$$ the longer you wait. Check YouTube videos for what is involved in bracing up a sagging ridge beam.

      Thank you all so much! I stopped at a nursery yesterday to look at my options. Wow was it overwhelming! I cannot wait to start working on this. One more question! If I were to take out the spruce tree on the left (it is too close to garage and half dead on other side - I’ll include photo), what type of tree would you recommend putting there? I would love to do a memorial tree. One that would flower either white or pink flowers. Maybe royal star magnolia or Japanese apple blossom? I’d love something with longer lasting blooms - zone 4. I have hydrangeas on the opposite side

      Beverly - Thank you for catching that! We caught the sag before we sheetrocked the inside of the garage. It is very well supported with steel studs!
