Plant suggestion anyone?
I need somthing to form somewhat of a hedge row along side of my hose.
We had red tip photinias before but I yanked them out for various reasons. 1. I don't want boxwoods or other similar shrubs...I'm looking for something with a little color. 2. Sage doesn't really turn me on...too common. 3. I want something with a maximum height of no more than 4 feet. 4. Drought tolerant is preferred. 5. Space gets intense direct early morning to early afternoon sun. 6. MUST be deer-PROOF..."resistant" doesn't seem to do the trick sometimes. Suggestions? |

I'm assuming when you refer to sage you mean purple or silver sage. That
said, a couple of possibilities might include Salvia Greggii (which comes in many shades of pink, red, coral). Deer won't touch them, and they grow perhaps 2 feet high. Another possibility might be a landscape grass like miscanthus. Both of these plants meet all your requirements. If I used the landscape grass, I might alternate with dwarf crape myrtles for a bit more color and interest. I'd suggest red yucca, but deer eat the blossoms. "Miles" wrote in message om...

What about Indian Hawthornes? They can get four feet tall although it may take years. I don't know how deer resistant they are though. |
