Looking for plant suggestions...
I live in northern california (east bay area) and have a yard I want to
plant. I am looking for something that is low maintance. (I do have sprinklers, so they do not have to be drought tolerant) I have one area that I need ground cover (about 55 ft x 15 and sloping, so I can not mow) I would like to have several selections for this area. I also have an area around my deck (about 4 ft all the way around) I would like to have something I do not have to replant every year, something that has some color, not a lot of trimming etc I would prefer some thing that does not attract bees, but does butterflies I do plan on some cala lillies, some ferns, some jade and gardinia (well.... I just love them) and some jasmine. Thanks Bruce |
