I'LL HAVETHE SMALL

摘要

The front garden where my property hits the road had enough of a slope to make mowing the grass a little iffy. Like any good gardener, I thought, "Why grow grass when you can grow plants?" In its second year, the bed I had replaced the lawn with had begun to fill in. The plants were getting bigger and beginning to mesh together. That's when it became a problem.Many of the plants blocked the view from the driveway of oncoming traffic. People drive way too fast on my road, and as much as I love my plants (and hate extra work), I couldn't risk any of my loved ones getting into an accident because my 'Big Blue' sea holly (Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue', Zones 4-9) looked too good to move. Thus began my quest for short plants—anything under 2 feet I would consider, but 18 inches or less was what I needed.
