I want to place a garden bed in the middle of my back yard. A little island of perenials and such. I currently have one Rose and Sharin bush I would like to in corperate into the garden bed island.
My back yard gets a great deal of shade most of the day, with spots of part sun. (it's not to shady, since grass grown there just fine)
I'm thinking of a Jelly Bean shaped Island. I'm not sure how large.
My question is, what are some good plants to plant in a Island bed, that are easy to mantain, for a begining gardener yet still look wonderful.
I'm in Detroit Michigan (if that helps) I think I'm zone 5 or 6
The yard is very flat, and currently just grass.
Thank you so much for any help or plants ideas you can throw my way. this is my first flower/plant garden that isn't a veggie bed or herb garden. So I am a little clueless.
