I'll get some tall annuals to fill in for a few years until the boxwood fills out and takes up more space because it looks pretty dinky next to the tree right now.
Brain and Cheryl,
I haven't planted these yet, so if it sounds like I made a bad choice, please say so!  I can exchange these at Lowes if necessary. I was out yesterday and I couldn't help myself.  |
Boxwoods are nice, but I hope you bought more than one! I suggest 3...they look nice in sets of 3.
The gold tip juniper is also a good choice...
I love Lilacs. They are nice shrubs and easy to prune...prune them within 6 weeks after they bloom, as they bloom next year on this years new growth. So if you wait too long to prune them, you won't get blooms next year.
