Tough Beauties for Ohio Yards.

🌳✨ Want color without fuss? These ornamentals thrive even in tricky soil:

🌻 Black-eyed Susans – bright, pest-resistant, pollinator magnets.

🌸 Coneflowers – long bloomers, butterflies love them.

🌼 Daylilies – resilient, vibrant, nearly indestructible

🌿 Sedum (Stonecrop) – drought-tolerant, late-summer charm.

🍃 Hostas & Coral Bells – lush foliage, shade-friendly.

💡 Plant them after stump removal or lawn repair, and watch your yard bounce back beautifully!

🌳 Why These Work in Ohio.

Ohio’s soil diversity (clay, loam, sandy patches, depleted) means you need plants that don’t demand perfect conditions.

Perennials are ideal because they return year after year with little replanting.

Many of these plants are drought-tolerant once established, making them practical for busy homeowners.

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind.

Before planting, leave some of the soil mixed with sawdust from grinding the stump to ensure good drainage and maintain soil moisture without overwatering.

Adding compost or mulch can improve soil health and boost growth.
