Need plant for a screen.
I would like to cover the electric and gas meters with a light, airy screen.
Right now I am using Nandina ( Heavenly Bamboo) but it is constantly covered with powdery mildew. Spraying only helps temporarily. I decided to replace the nandina with something similar, fairly tall and narrow: 2' wide and 5 ' tall. Any suggestions for Southern California, zone 10? Thanks for any input -- Walter www.rationality.net - |
