[quote=Anonymous]My house has the same orientation as yours, and here is what has done well on our street. North facing Front (east side has more shade, west side gets more sun). Trees: pink dogwood, red buckeye, eastern redbud, white fringe tree (my personal favorite), sweetbay magnolia, witch hazel. Shrubs: mountain laurel, the ubiquitous azaleas, viburnum, holly, hydrangea in the back of the border (hides the winter sticks). Perennials: native ferns, hostas, virginia bluebells, jack in the pulpit, blue lobelia, lots of spring bulbs, native columbine (red), heuchera, bleeding heart, eastern shooting star, cranesbill, goatsbeard, white wood aster for fall. Along the south fence in back yard: same trees as front, shrubs like oakleaf hydrangea and american beautyberry, perrennials like cinnamon ferns, hostas, native columbine, turlehead, bee balm, northern blue flag, cardinal flower, great blue lobelia, penstamon, phlox, obedient plant.
