common garden plants include dogwood, azalea, hydrangea, flowering cherry, maples, pin oak, red-tip photinia, holly, juniper, white pine, magnolia, bradford pear, forsythia, liriope (mondograss), and english ivy. lawns can be either cool-season grasses like fescue and rye, or warm-season like zoysia and bermudagrass which turn brown in late fall. a few homeowners associations actually prohibit green grass in the winter.
