Recommend plants for a landscaping company
    #14469987 - 05/17/11 08:52 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I was just recently promoted to landscape designer for my (very large, corporate) landscaping company.  I need to provide plants that are manageable and attainable for a landscaping company, but I pretty much have free reign from there.  Keep in mind the company does not grow from seed.
Other than salvia, what plants can I recommend that would be interesting/harvestable for me?

I live in Maryland in the US, so US hardiness zones 5 and up are worth considering.

This is an opportunity for me to introduce new plants, ethno or not to the landscaping community. It would be awesome to have my company sowing entheogens for me, but have you all got any ideas?

San Pedro is often used by landscaping companies for abusabiliy (double entendre intended) and large attractive flowers. It really depends on the climates of the areas you're landscaping though.

So you're looking for new plants or just plants that work?

I did landscaping for a while. The common ones we used were hostas, japanese maple, laceleaf japanese maple, azaleas, rhododendrons, echinacea purpurea and various pines.

Some plants I've grown and used myself that I think would be good choices include phalaris grass, switch grass, acorus calamus, wormwood, dyer's woad (isatis tinctoria), delosperma cooperi (as a groundcover), opuntia species, catnip and coleus (as an annual).

i dont htink a lot of ethnos that grow in that climate are very suitable for landscaping as far as a design standpoint goes....they are generally not bred for "perfection" in a visual to the eye (not third eye) sense.  maybe Acorus, but not sure if it handles that kind of cold....

Maybe datura, but again not sure about your winters and it...i doubt it.  There are some "cold hardy" brugmansia whihc is a lovely landscaping plant, but it is not much good past -3C that i know of....

is your area wet when its cold or dry, that also plays a huge role.

i would drive around your rich neighborhoods and get an idea of what grows there.

All of the plants I mentioned, except coleus would handle that kind of cold. But people do use various types of coleus as annuals.  Daturas are usually annuals up north, but I have seen people use brugmansias in a few cases (zone 7). I am not sure if they replant them each year. 

I also wanted to mention that people use yuccas, such as Yucca  baccata, a lot.  You might even be able to use some hardy agaves. They're not exactly enthos, but would add some interesting flare, especially if you combined varieties.
