So the visibility of a gaudy hydrant is essentially protected by law. And that's good, eh?<br /><br />But your answer is Sporobolus airoides, Zinnia grandiflora and Amsonia eastwoodiana.<br />(Taking a lesson from art school- one can reduce the visual power of a something by repeating or approximately repeating something similar- this is what I hope great swaths of Zinnia grandiflora will do to that hydrant since I cannot ethically hide it)<br />Kenton J.

Even in cases of planting mid-July in dry soils, the tops may die due to stress, but have usually come back.<br /><br />But the real question is, what did you do to hide that FIRE HYDRANT.Susan in the Pink Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472502621591870369noreply@blogger.com
