So I'm looking to plant around the mailbox. Thinking quarter round space between the road & the driveway. It's a dirt road & it can get dusty so was going to stick to the "old stand bys" as far as durability/proven performance goes. They don't salt it it's only plowed in the winter.
Was thinking of putting welded wire around the post & kiddie corner putting a wrought iron or wooden obelisk for a clematis (probably jackmani) & plant it so it can grow on both structures & will plan get a 2nd one to grow on the other side of the obelisk too to be sure both structures are saturated in clematis. Part of that is locating the obelisk correctly too. I just want both the post & the obelisk HEAVILY covered.
Then thinking garden phlox, day lilies, irises, balloon flowers, & hyacinth bulbs.
Am I missing anything? Good variety of leaf shapes, & blossom shapes, a variety of bloom times, complimentary colors.......I know it's nothing special but I think collectively it would look good. The sum is greater than the parts kind of thing.
Wanted to float this out there since it's just an idea but one I've been kicking around for a while now. So what do you think? I feel really good about it but I want some other eyes to look it over in case you have an alternative or addition please don't hesitate to speak up!
Thanks
