No matter how many years you\u2019ve been perfecting your landscape there is always more to be done, and\u00a0Alana Muhlberger in Columbus, Ohio (Zone 6b) knows that\u2019s a great thing. Her landscape is a lush collection of lovely colors and tantalizing texture, but she is still finding room for improvements and reasons to try something new.<\/p>\n<p><em>My garden is an ongoing experiment and playground. My style transitioned from cottage-ish flower bonanza to something a little quieter with more solidity in the last few years. Last spring I dug out large numbers of daylilies and similar plants that look like an undistinguished green mass when not flowering. This fall I also focused on adding nativars with colorful fall foliage since November needed some more bling.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18170103\/GPOD-Muhlberger-1-may-garden.jpg\"><\/a><em>I think of May as iris-time.
