We are landscaping our garden this year. We don't want any grass. Instead, just wnat shrubs, trees and smaller plants.
Can anyone suggest perenials that do not grow easily in seattle, wa.

Welcome to Gardenbuddies, Ana! I just drove through your beautiful city of Seattle last week, and saw many rhododendrums and azaleas in full bloom. Did not get a chance to notice any other perenials. You live in a very beautiful city. Are you near the water?

Seattle is absolutely gorgeous city, specially when the sun is out after the rain. Undescribable.
I've killed a few lavendar so far. lilac seems to do well. I was looking for vanilla plant.
The seeds I put in - california poppy, candytuft - haven't come up yet.
Just wondering about what other small bushy perenials I can try.

We just started our garden two years ago in Seattle. We've put in hundreds of plants. Almost everything has survived, and those that haven't I'm pretty sure were due to gardener error.
Azaleas and rhodys do really well here, and there are lots of small ones. I'm in love with r. keiskei 'yaku fairy'. That might be the next one I buy. Its only about 8" tall, 2' wide, and yellow flowers.
Some others I like: golden hakone grass, dwarf japanese maples, nandinas, pieris, roses, salvias, sibirian iris, and a groundcover gardenia I am nursing back to health from being dug up by squirrels.
I get a lot of ideas from walking around the different neighborhoods and looking at what everyone else has planted. I'm also on a quest to visit all the area gardens and parks. Seattle is a great city to garden in. I grew up in the southeast, and am still amazed that honeysuckle, wisteria, and sweetgum trees are sold as ornamentals here.
