A man and his pickup truck launched the legacy of The Original Don Mould’s Garden Center on Lorain Road. The family-owned, full-service nursery stocks everything needed to build a tasteful landscape. And guests are greeted with a heaping dose of premium customer service.
For those looking for inspiration on what to plant in Lorain County’s stubbornly hard clay, Store Manager Laura Mould-Walker points to plants that provide color and interest year-round.
3 plants that provide year-round interest and color:
Aronia: This low-maintenance shrub is known for fragrant white flowers in spring, brilliant red and purple foliage in fall, and berries that persist well into the winter. “It’s like getting three shrubs in one,” Mould-Walker notes.
Hydrangea: With endless varieties to choose from, it begins blooming mid-summer and perpetuates its beauty until frost. From the burst of white in spring to hues of pink in summer to deep, rich burgundy tones by fall, it’s a stunner year-round.
Flame Thrower Red Bud: This tree’s fiery orange-red leaves in the spring and warm yellow and apricot shades later in the season add personality to any landscape.
