THE PLANTS
'Karl Foerster' feather reed grass, 'Gem Box' inkberry, 'Blue Star' juniper, reblooming daylily, clumping lilyturf, daffodils, dwarf panicle hydrangea, 'Green Gem' boxwood, 'Autumn Joy' stonecrop, catmint, birchleaf spirea 'Tor'.

HONEST NOTES
Low maintenance is not no maintenance: expect one late-winter cleanup and a little summer deadheading, and the plan lists exactly what remains. Daylilies can cause fatal kidney failure in cats (FDA, ASPCA); the plan gives a cat-safe swap. We use birchleaf spirea and clumping lilyturf, not the invasive kinds, and 'Green Gem' boxwood for better blight resistance.

FACT-CHECKED
Plant facts are checked by hand against NC State Extension, the ASPCA toxic-plant lists, the FDA and the Rutgers deer-resistance ratings; every source is listed inside.

FORMATS
US Letter and A4, plus a US Letter ink-saver version.
