Grass and flowering plants
Even though I don't have one wall glued onto the foundation, I've been planning the landscaping. Jo mentioned Heki grass mats, so I did a bit of sleuthing around and finally found a supplier in the U.S.: Scenery Express. I ended up with a number of materials from them, all of which should work very well in 1:12 scale. The first is Savannah TuftGrass by Heki. It's a mat with low and high grasses in variegated coloration. I went with the more dried out, late autumn colors. It's pricey, but the look is spot on in scale for a poorly kept lawn with some overgrown and dying spots in the grass. For a bit of non-grass vegetation, I have the Autumn Tone Goldenrod Weeds 'Silflorettes' by MiniNatur. These come all webbed together, and you cut the stalks off the web to apply individually. These are obviously not in-scale goldenrod stalks for 1:12 scale, but they do look like dried out flowering plants. I think they'll look marvelous scattered in the yard and next to the brick foundation. Just marvelous!
