I LIVE IN ZONE 6 ? SPECIFICALLY ZIP 11725. I AM LOOKING FOR SLOW GROWING EVERGREENS THAT I CAN PLANT IN A NARROW BED BETWEEN MY PATIO AND HOUSE ( ABOUT 4 FEET FRONT TO BACK) THAT WILL GET LATE MORNING SUN AND BRIGHT LIGHT THEREAFTER. CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME SOME SUGGESTIONS. THANK YOU, SHEP WOLMAN |
Based on your description this is actually considered a full sun situation. You might consider boxwoods, smaller growing cultivars of Pieris japonica if you prefer a flowering plant, or possibly one of the lower growing junipers. Your local professional nursery staff should be able to show you these, and may also have other suggestions based on a more detailed understanding of the planting conditions in that spot and your design goals. I hope this gives you some ideas. |
