I am not a lover of them but they do shield us from the highway. What will grow well under them? Thanks for all replies. Brandy Quote \| Reply \| Report

I have about 20-25 day lilies I can move out there this fall. And now a reason to buy MORE!! Brandy Quote \| Reply \| Report

But, the results are worth it! I love my long needle pines as a backdrop for hot pink impatiens, then a few caladiums. Also, there is the Bishop's Weed around the bird bath.
