Evergreens can survive the toughest winters, but sometimes need a little extra help from us. Dave talks with Ken Mayer, of Weston Nurseries, to learn the best practices for making sure evergreens stay their happy, green selves throughout the year.
what is the best plants to put around a water fall in So Cal?
I have a 4 foot fall with a 7×3 ft river and a 5×3 pond. the mound around it spreads about 12 feet with a pyramid style spread to it on the sides and back. This is the best I can do to describe it it really is beautiful. I wanted to keep it natural with mountain type evergreen shrubs and even a small tree like shrub pine tree shaped maybe. Does this make any sense?
Try Juniper prostrata or procumbens for a maintenance free, yet wonderfully evergreen planting. Intersperse them with Aztec grass or variegated phormium for real drama. It would be lovely.
