Re: Looking for suggestions

I've certainly used that suggestion to customers who want blooming plants that require no maintenance and don't attract bugs. <LOL>

Is it time to repeat Walter Brooke's famous line? "I just want to say one word... Plastic."
When I worked in a retail nursery, we described the most-sought-after plant as one that was evergreen, bloomed all year, only grew so tall [hand gesture required here], and grew equally well in dense shade or blazing sun.

How about one of the smaller Ilex? I have some by the house, north

I believe it is just very slow draining, staying damp for long
periods.  Not
ideal conditions around the foundation of a structure, I'm thinking.

Also, I guess I was wanting to ask how much water does it hold? Is it
just slow draining or does it actually collect standing water at
times?
