I have a low hedge of Daphne odora growing along the north side of my
house. It's blooming right now (I'm north of you on Sauvie Island) and
the scent is fabulous. Not exactly the colors you wanted, but it is an
attractive plant all year and low maintenance, too.

I've thought about daphne, but I'm a bit concerned about the ant issue,
especially if I grow a whole hedge. I'm looking to fill 4 beds about 3 x 8
ft each. Do you get ants all over yours? A friend of mine who lives not
too far away loves her daphne, but she does get lots of ants.


I've never seen ants in my daphne. Why would ants be attracted to it?
