| I am landscaping around an outdoor spa. The spa is set on pavers and there is a privacy fence on two sides and the house on the third. There is an area between the pavers and the fence three to four feet wide. I would like to put some small shrubs and perennials in that space, but I am not sure what would be appropriate as it is basically full shade. Could you please make some recommendation? Thank you. |
