Right plant, right place
H
ow do you find a plant for those less-than hospitable places in a yard? Here are a few such spots and the perfect plants for them, according to Dave Epstein of Growing Wisdom and An- thony Tesselaar of Anthony Tesselaar Plants Pty. Ltd.
Location: Driveway and/or side of road Solution: Next Generation Flower Carpet roses for continuous, season-long blooms, salt tolerance and outstanding heat and humidity re- sistance. The Flower Carpet ground cover roses are some of the most popu- lar roses available in the world today. This is because of their long flowering period, easy care and exceptional disease resistance and great drought tolerance. "It's a nice greeting for people as they come in from the road, and you're taking a lot of heat off the driveway," said Epstein.
