Large garden plants. Help!
We have a very large overgrown garden on a slope, for most of it we
have managed to dig and have landscaped.For the bottom end of the garden we are looking for some plants that will grow very large, and are fast growing, that will hide the garden from the main road at the bottom.Plants that will fill up alot of space, also with abit of colour throughout the year. If you could also recommend somewhere that we can purchase such plants at resonable prices. |

Large garden plants. Help!
Hi, Stephanie,
We need to know where you live before we can help you. What's the climate like where you are? What's the soil like--is it clay, sand, or somewhere in between? Do you get adequate rainfall, or do you need plants that are drought tolerant? And how large is "large"--6 ft., 10 ft., 30 ft.? Are you looking for trees and shrubs, or tall perennial or edible plants? Sue Zone 6, Southcentral PA "Stephanie" wrote in message m...

Large garden plants. Help!
Hi and thanks for your reply
I live in Bonny Scotland. Here we get alot of wet weather! The soil is very good all plants so far i.e. heathers,conifers,evergreens and of course weeds!!!! are growing like wildfire. The plants we are looking for are large tall trees or shrubs hopefully with abit of colour that can hide the garden from the main road.The garden is about 115ft long by 32ft wide.

hopefully with abit of colour that can hide the garden from the main road.The garden is about 115ft long by 32ft wide. Rhododedrons would suit your cause, or if you don't mind winter exposure, Gunnera would be an alternative to buying mature Rhodos, and would add that 'Jurassic Park' touch....... |
