Good suggestion! Fast grower and easy to maintain.

We saw many creative landscaping applications that we took note of in our golf car travels. A very pleasant way to learn our way around as well.

It was especially helpful to go through older, more established areas to see how large the various plants could grow over time and also how they looked from season to season.
Helped us decide what we wanted for our own home.
Make it a fun excursion!
