Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil')

Fantastic! Do you know if it runs tap roots or spreads them out? I need to cut the hollies I have due to the root spread.

pepper23 said:There are also some smaller viburnums that could work also. A good source for getting info and buying some would be Classic Viburnums. You could possibly mix up the plantings with these and the holly for variety.

Here's the website for Classic Viburnums: http://www.classicviburnums.co...

All in all I like your ideas for your yard. Suits the looks of your home nicely.

Thanks! Will look at the Viburnums as well.

Yes...pots. They currently have portulaca in them. We were rushed and I needed something to take the harsh hot sun there.

Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
