Tall, narrow plants for south-facing sticky bed
I'm after some ideas for tall, narrow (bed is 24" deep) plants to go in
a south-facing, sticky bed. I'd prefer evergreens. Any ideas? |

Just getting used to new way of viewing newsgroups so a bit stumped! Clay soil. The narrow part of the bed is about 4 ft long so I only need a couple of narrow tall plants! I'm in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex. Grass in front of bed. Tall fence behind. Jo |

red watsonias Thanks Janet. Lovely ideas, but I think the yew will be a little too big. I don't really want anything that'll grow taller than the fence! Jo |

Jo You can keep yew trimmed to exactly where you want it and whatever shape you want it. It's the conifer that forgives and lives to grow! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Jo I should have added that if 'sticky' means wet, yews won't like that, however! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
