Foundation Shrub Recommendation
"Berob" wrote in message m...
I'm in Zone 7 and need an evergreen foundation shrub that will get about 5' tall (4' - 6') but only 3' or so wide. Any recommendations/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Berob Not sure about zone 7 (I'm in 6). You might want to check out something called Mountain Fire Pieris (japonica?) - have the little tickets at home, so I'm not sure if that's the exact spelling. These are beautiful, will get the size you want if you let them. Any new foliage "leafs in" in a bright red color, with the older foliage turning green. They also get clusters of small white flowers in the spring. Just bought 3 of these for the back of the house. They look very pretty, sort of a 2-tone effect. My local garden center said they're very hardy, will do well in partial shade, can be pruned to whatever size you want. Let me know if you need the exact name & I'll find the tickets. Geri |
