The Importance of Planting the Right Way
Planting isn’t just about digging a hole and putting a plant in the ground. The right planting techniques are essential for your plants’ health and longevity. Proper planting ensures that your plants have enough room to grow, access to the right nutrients, and protection from disease. At Evergreen Hollow, we take the time to properly assess your yard’s soil, drainage, and plant needs to ensure that every plant is placed in its ideal spot.
Knowing Where to Plant: Sun, Shade, and Everything In Between
nNot all plants are created equal, and the best way to ensure that your garden flourishes is to plant with consideration to the unique needs of each plant. Understanding the amount of sunlight each area of your yard receives is crucial to making the right plant choices
- Full Sun: Some plants, like lavender, roses, and sunflowers, thrive in full sunlight. We assess your yard to ensure these sun-loving plants get the exposure they need to grow strong and healthy.
- Partial Sun/Partial Shade: Certain plants, such as hydrangeas and hostas, do best in areas that receive a mix of sun and shade. Planting these in spots that get a few hours of direct sunlight each day ensures they thrive without being scorched.
- Shade: For shaded areas, we recommend plants like ferns, astilbes, and coleus that can handle less direct sunlight. We ensure that your shady spots are filled with lush, healthy plants that won’t suffer from a lack of sun exposure
