GWiz said:My line of 6 judd viburnums forming an edge on the west side of my yard died down the line over the past 2 years. I removed them.

I now want to replant shrubs for a casual hedge there. I was told not to replant the judd. No real solution to what killed them. Do I need to do something to the soil to clarify it or ready it for new plants?

Any ideas of good part sun/part shade shrubs for a border between neighbors? Not a tight, trimmed privet or honeysuckle or anything like that.

Thanks

If you're looking for a reliable, cheap, fast growing hedge that will put on a summer/fall show, how about rose of sharon? We have some on our property that have NEVER had an issue in partial shade for 19 years now. Gorgeous colors in July-October—wet site and drought tolerant. They also bloom on new wood, so you can trim them as much as you want. There are of course the classic rose of sharon you can find anywhere, but there are dwarfs such as Pollypetite, and more vertical types like Purple Pillar.
