WINSOME WALKWAY. Lots of Black-Eyed Susans line the walkway to the barn. “I selected them because the area is all clay and they grow very well in clay soil,” Tracy says. “For the rest of the walkway, I tried to focus on lower growing plants because it’s basically in the middle of the yard.” She loves how the Black-Eyed Susans pair with the brighter foliage plants, like the red coleus.
