I love to have my hands in the dirt and have created some awesome gardens in former homes, but don't really have the time, energy, or funds to redo them like I use to. Any suggestions????
Yes. We put in our own Bottlebrush hedge along the back perimeter of our property. Planted them in March and they are already twice the size. (About four foot tall and will grow to eight) We bought them at Lowes for five dollars each. They grow fast and are easy to plant and have dark red blooms that look like a bottle brush..

Just took a picture and added it to my albums above...Our Lilypad.
