Grateful for shrub ideas
We removed some very elderly shrubs and some rather sick large escallonias last autumn from some metre plus wide borders and would be grateful for suggestions as to what to replace them with. Preferably evergreen, flowering or just attractive foliage and shape. The location is south Devon, about 800 metres from the coast, on a relatively exposed hill. Two borders receive full sun for around 2/3 of the day and another for 1/3 of the day. Frosts of any significance are rare (even this winter) but high winds are fairly frequent. We are on the edge of the Devon Redlands and the soil has a fairly high clay content. Existing planting includes various conifers, pieris, mahonia, various broom, eryngium, photinia davidiana, some large phormium, a couple of surviving escallonia gold ellen, various euonymous, fatsia jopinica, skimmia, berberis darwinii. -- rbel |
