    Dwarf Pittosporum is another very easy one to care for. Takes full sun, lots of shade, water, no water…it isn’t fussy. Available in green or variegated colors (silver or gold). I like adding them around the base of larger trees in my yard.

    Several of these are certainly of interest to me for other areas of my yard. The only thing I want around the foundation of my home is rocks. Little rocks, big rocks, the odd weather proof statue here and there. It's that I find keeping plant life groomed and weeded close to the house a pain and I like the clean unfettered look. Of course, that is me and it's not for everyone. But another reason is that I can put down boric acid and diatomaceous earth to my hearts content which keeps a lot of insects away. Even termites. Then a generous application of rock salt, watered in, will keep all plant life away.
    However, the beauties mentioned here would be wonderful at the base of taller shrubs or trees If the purple foliage is really attractive to you., the dwarf Loropetalum coupled with Black Diamond Crepe Myrtle would be just the thing.

    I bought those dwarf purple bush u said wasn’t ur grandmas and mine was my grandmas after 5yr. It stayed small and then of a sudden the entire planting decided they were big kids now and we had to pull them all out. They grew to the top of our house and enclosed our front porch. We waited because the birds built into them with nests and the kids liked to watch from the porch inside. So yeah. Watch for those and the cat tail mint. Cat tail mint sure is purty but will take over the whole bed fast.

    I hope you don't mind my writing this; however, I would love anyones suggestions. I was just searching for ideas for a central FL very tiny planting area outside of a ground floor apartment. I will be moving there in Mar/April. There is a nice sized concrete/sidewalk sitting area by the front door & large LR window, that then overlooks a grassy courtyard. People frequently will walk the sidewalk around the courtyard, so I should keep in mind the potential for too many bees. The planting area is about a good 3 ft deep along the edge of the courtyard, and it faces North. I would need to water by watering can - so trying to keep that in mind. I don't care for the look of a lot of potted plants scattered around. I prefer a more permanent/landscaped/tidy look that is simple/dwarf/compact. It's much easier for me to handle occasional pruning, then have plantings that need frequent hand watering. I'm so glad I've just stumbled on this video - and I've just subscribed! I'm also new to FL, so I'm very unfamiliar with all of the plantings/weather here. I do prefer a more tidy vs straggly appearance if that helps with any suggestions. I do like the look of what was shown in this video, I just don't want things to get too high (maybe max 3.5 ft (?). Again, I don't mind pruning. Best to have most but not all as low growth to avoid overpowering the area I would think (?). 🤔 Thanks again for any and all suggestions from anyone!! It's really appreciated! 😊 🌿🌺
