Stonecrop
This little darling is probably the easiest perennial to grow. When in full bloom, it makes a perfectly rounded mound that hugs the ground, standing only 10 to 12 inches tall. This makes it an excellent choice for growing near the edge of your foundation bed, especially in front of evergreens or taller roses.
Catmint
This perennial is planted in big drifts; if you drive about the town in late April, you might see it. Its unconstrained growth habit causes it to develop in enormous numbers, giving it the appearance of a blue cloud touching the ground. Catmint grows well in full sun, just like sedum, and doesn't require additional fertiliser.
Hosta
Hostas are a simple fix if your foundation is shaded for a significant portion of the day. They are available in a wide range of sizes, from the enormous "Empress Wu" hosta to the tiny "Mini Skirt" and all sizes in between.
Ornamental Onion
The popularity of this class of ornamental onions has increased dramatically since Allium 'Millenium' was featured by the Perennial Plant Association in 2018 as the Perennial Plant of the Year. It was revealed that "serendipity" is a "sport" of "Millenium."
Globe Arborvitae
Consider this dwarf globe arborvitae if you're looking for low-growing evergreens to use as a hedge to border your entryway or beneath your front windowsills. It may grow well in clay soil that is well-drained or sandy, in both full and partial sun, and requires little to no trimming to maintain its neat shape.
Juniper
This native variety of common juniper is among the hardest-working and least caring evergreens available. It grows readily into the centre areas of your foundation bed, forming a low, broad mound of emerald green foliage. This juniper, which grows to be 2 feet tall and 3 4 feet wide, looks great.
Panicle Hydrangea
Panacle hydrangeas are among the simplest kind of hydrangeas to plant around the foundation of your house. When deciding which is the best fit, you should carefully study the label because of how different their sizes are.
Switch Grass
Although they might not be your first pick for foundation plantings, ornamental grasses are actually a highly sensible option. A native plant, switch grass is incredibly resilient, thriving in full light and heat and withstanding wind, storms, and brief periods of floods.
