Question
We have an area in front yard close to the sidewalk where there is a large utility box. We have rocked the area rocked with landscaping rocks but want to add color, etc to the area. We picked up 4 plants and want to plant in this area. What other plants will fit into this rocky dry area? Thank you. M. Carter
