Question
I have a strip on the west side of my home between the house and the driveway. It is about 2 feet wide and 60' long. I am looking for perennials that will thrive and survive the conditions here. We will water using a drip system or sprinkler hose. We are partial to red, greens and yellow colors. We would consider plants or grasses, and perfer plants that look good year round. The plants can have variuos heights for accent. Do you have recommendations of 6 or 8 types in an area like this?
