The landscape also features silver euonymus, loropetalum, azaleas, gardenias, and even blackberry and raspberry bushes, along with lush hostas, Lenten rose, and coral bells. Mature redbud, dogwood, little gem magnolia, and a juvenile oak add shade and structure to the backyard oasis. Out front, knockout roses, dahlias, daylilies, more hostas, liriope, and purple tradescantia create fantastic curb appeal. Parking is no problem here a 2-car garage plus an additional driveway parking space means room for up to 5 vehicles.
