Plants by Avant-Yarde
Full Service Landscape Consultation & Maintenance
Horticulture Consultants
Horticulture is both an Art & a Science. At Avant-Yarde, we work with you to choose plants, shrubs & the proper turf that meets your expectations. We will advise on what will best thrive in the environment of your home or business. We watch for plant pest, disease or disorder that may arise on our landscape-managed properties in Collier & Lee County.
Full Sun
Growing plants in full sun, especially within containers, can be challenging unless you choose varieties that are tolerant of these conditions. Many full sun plants are also tolerant of drought and arid conditions, making them ideal for potted environments too. For instance, the Bird of Paradise loves full sun for best growth & most flowers.
Partial Shade
Most garden stores and nurseries will only carry a limited stock of only the most popular shade garden plants. If you want to find the truly unique and beautiful shade garden plants, at Avant-Yarde we can recommend those that will be best suited to your home or business. Some of the scarcer shade-loving plants are spectacular.
Both
Partial-sun or partial-shade labels both mean a plant needs three to six hours of sun each day, but they carry a different emphasis. A partial-sun plant needs that amount of full sun to flourish. Partial-shade plants need protection all but those three to six hours per day. Partial-shade plants often do best when they receive direct morning sun, but stay sheltered in the afternoon.
