What to plant next to a house wall?
perennials: there’s a multitude of sun-loving perennials perfect for wall-side borders. For instance, salvia, daylilies, and sedum are excellent choices. For shady walls, try hostas, astilbes, or ferns. Shrubs: compact shrubs such as boxwood or dwarf hydrangeas can form a low maintenance and attractive border. Hosta: shade-loving perennial is a good choice for planting on the north sides of houses or other places that may not receive as much sun. Sedum: low-growing, sun-loving perennial requires little maintenance and adds color and interest. Blue fescue grass: smaller ornamental grass provides color and texture.
