Joe Pye Weed on Culvert Side?

The wonders of living on the skits of a subdivision development. Anyway, I was thinking maybe removing some of the rubble rock and planting Joe Pye weed planted every so often along the ditch, which is 6' deep and 6' wide with about a 45 degree pitch. Currently there is a crappy looking grass that grows in the area, along with some other weedy flowers and the only good thing, some morning glory. Area gets full sun and is fair moisture wise during normal season weather. So you think it would do well there and be able to choke out some of the grass and other junk? Or do you think I should look in other directions. Zone 6b Kentucky, 12" or less of decent soil before solid clay... I've used Rosemary as a ground cover, it works best with a lot of neglect. I'd chose one of the low growing kind. |
