Need input.
Anyone have ideas of the type of bush I should plant here:
The land in sloped away from the house, which can’t change anytime soon. There is tall bush there that is healthy & native so it will stay. I am not sure if it was planted with purpose or sprouted on its own. It is called a Sweet Pepper Bush, it gets lovely little flower cones that have a really great smell in spite of their delicate and lackluster appearance.
The bushes that are there now are squat yellow bushes, that I transplanted last year and then we got the drought and they may have died. I am note quite sure, but I would not be sad if they did.Anyone have any ideas for flowers here:
I am looking for something that will grow year after year. Maybe even some ground cover sedum between the rocks.The tall bush that you see on the far right is a miniature rose that will bloom continuously if I keep it dead headed. It is pink. In the front there is some ground cover phlox that grows little blue/purple flowers. I think there might be some Candy Tuft, little white flowers, mixed in.At first I was thinking Lillies or Tiger lillies or I don’t know…Something tall to cover that neighbors fence!
