Of course, it wasn't long after I posted my request
for "low-maintenance" plants that I realized I was
preaching to the choir.
I suspect that in addition to having strong botanical
inclinations, most of the members of this forum/group
garden with "Mediterranean" plants because they are,
as a group, low-maintenance.
So, let me challenge you all.
Tell me what you think is the absolute "ultimate" in
low maintenance in your garden. The creme d'la creme,
the truly cast iron and neglectful, the plants that
wuld thrive and look good even if you completely
walked away for two years.
Am I asking too much?
Thanks,
Joe
