Joe, nevermind my mentioning "annual". I was thinking 2 things at
once.

Thanks for your recommendation regarding boxwoods. I have many
nurseries in my immediate area, I will take a look at their selection
to see if they carry boxwoods.

Thanks!

Another recommendation, which you should take seriously: Get to your library
and see if they've got either or both of these books, both by Henry
Mitchell, the late garden columnist for the Washington Post: "The Essential
Earthman", and "One Man's Garden". Most of his recommendations were based on
personal experience with certain plants in Washington DC, close enough to
you to be accurate. Each chapter is a column from the newspaper, so they're
short. And, the guy's humor makes the books very easy to read.

When you're done, you'll have a list as long as your arm.
