Default A hint to those posting here for the first time

I have noticed this is happening a lot as people are wanting

For some topics, such as fertilizers or starting seeds, it is
easy to give an answer to anyone, where ever they may be.

But although we are ALL Superior Gardeners here, there is
no way we can give specific plant names without knowing
where these plants will be growing. The best we can do is
give a long list of plants, some of which are going to be
entirely unsuitable for the area in question. So PLEASE
give us an idea of where you live if you want an educated/
specific list of plants for your planting area.

What is evergreen in So Calif. may not be so in Nor Calif
and may not even grow in Ohio.!

Thank you and Happy Gardening

You don't have to go to the extent of my signature (below). But you
should indicate not only the general area but also the geography. There
are many different climates within 100 miles of my home, from mountain
to desert to subtropical.
