They are all about, or intended to be about, 2-to-3 feet in height, some flowering some not. I’m planning on doing the replacement myself and want to obtain plants that are hardy requiring minimal maintenance. I’m looking for suggestions on which plants might be best? Thanks in advance
For a little color Crotons are a good choice for small plants that grow 2-3 feet. There are a couple varieties, so a mix looks very nice.
