[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the advice. I'm not opposed to all hardscape, but I do wish for some color. Clover = soil = weeds and mud. Too much maintenance and still so muddy. We could possibly section off a part for hostas or something that is shade-loving, but again, we want low maintenance. And honestly, less bugginess. I'd be happy with bees but I'm tired of gnats and mosquitos, which is what we have now. [/quote] If the hostas like the area, they grow big and are low maintenance. They require one time clipping of flower spikes per year and cleanup of dead leaves right before winter. They don't need to be trimmed like a shrub. They aren't a particularly buggy plant.[/quote] Another option could be heuchera (coral bells). Also pretty low maintenance and a good range of colors. Some of mine - in more protected areas - have retained a lot of their leaves through the winter, so we get a bit of visual interest all year long. [/quote]
