We are beginning our landscaping project. My wife and I like colorful trees and vegetation. We want to keep weeding, labor, watering, etc to a minimum. I am looking for suggestions as to trees, bushes, ground cover, etc that meet these requirements. Also if anyone knows of particularly good sources for these, it would be most appreciated. We are located in KC, MO where we enjoy all 4 seasons with full extremes of weather.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions and advice.
