Hi all, I’m in a new gardener and want to fill a small space up with a mix of different flowering natives. I’m curious to see what suggestions any one has for plants that require little to no soil amendments (if that’s possible), will get full sun, low water needs once established and ideally bring pollinators about. I attached a pic of the space I’m working with. The pot and trellis will be reserved for sweet potatoes. The area faces west so it will get some morning light but mostly afternoon-sunset light. Rough estimate for space size is 9×4.
My ideas are:
Turks cap
Salvia
Red yucca
Lantana
Greg’s mist flower
I’m also consider planting a couple of giant sun flowers against the wood fence, and putting a bird bath in there that can provide afternoon shade for an area if I wanted to be strategic.
Thanks for any advice!
